I bought the SA-60 Esoteric but the Arye Player has many of the same qualities. The SA-60 is extremely power cord sensitive. Currently I have a audio Tekne power cord which is quite magical. Lots of cheaper universal players out there however (and More expensive) good luck
"Best" of the "Universal" players ???.
For CD sound primarily.
I want "super" CD sound; but would much prefer the machine be universal.(I don't want to sacrifice much at all in CD sound to the very best CD only players. However I realize my isolation & conditioning technigues will enable my sound to surpass that of the finest CD player(Spectral?) in some other less refined system)
I tend to feel the Esoteric machines are likely 'best' and the "safest" bet for long term reliability or factory support with parts/upgradability.
Are there any other "universal" machines I should consider?
