I had the Audio Refinement cdp for about 2 years and then went with the YBA cd-3 for 1 year. I like the Audio Refinement player...it's good and so is the YBA CD3. But the Jolida 100 is in a completely different world of resolution too the both of them. The Jolida surpasses both of them in musicality, smoothness, bass impact.soundstage...etc. I guess everyone has ther own opinions and these things can be system dependent. If you get the Jolida I would recommend replacing the stock tubes with something else. Ohhh I see you went SACD...good luck!!!
opinions on audio refinement cd complete
I am currently auditioning cd players and was wondering if anyone out there is using the audio refinement cd complete player. Not too many reviews on this player, so was hoping to get some input. I heard it briefly last week but have to come back as it was very near closing time at the shop. Thanks.
