the Ayon CD players are vivid. Most people love the Ayon players... those that do not, tend to think that they are too vivid sounding. So... if you like vivid, this is a good brand.
New CD player sound qualities
Can someone recommend some brands of CD players that give a "vivid" sound -- I normally listen to units that are "neutral" both tonally and in presentation (meaning not too forward and not too laid-back). I'd like to keep those qualities, especially the neutral presentation, but I'd like to hear something with a vibrancy, and maybe even a raw or gusty feel. High detail would be good too. Thanks in advance!
