Recommend CD Player with Volume Control

Remember this guys, just as identical systems would sound very different in different rooms, no two sets of ears will hear the same thing, even if those systems were set up in the same room. There are just too many variables; likes, dislikes, age, hearing ability, the amount of hair growing in your ears, etc....

Carl, read my post again. Of course you will hear SIMILAR things. Just as Ejlif clarified (after you forced him to) that he heard similar things from the CD-50 that you did, it's obvious that he did not hear the SAME things. Your raving passion aout the CD-50, like a positive review from one of the high-end mags, will cause and has caused others to seek out the CD-50. However, after an audition, not everyone will draw the SAME rave, positive conclusions. Your personal preferences are just that, yours!

It's obvious that you, Carl, are missing the point that I'm trying to make. This is why. I own, and enjoy tremendously, a CD-50! You were so blinded by the fact that I raised the notion of individuality and personal preferences, that it never entered your mind to ask what I happen to be using in my system. To everyone else, I apologize for getting off track from the initial thread. In that regard, I too recommend the CD-50 without hesitation. That's just MY preference. It may not suit everyone's taste.

Carl. I wasn't hiding the fact that I own a CD-50 just to be disagreeable with you. You don't merit that kind of attention. My point was, again, that we (music lovers/audiophiles) are never going to hear and enjoy the same things, in music, no matter what systems we are using. Even if those systems are identical. Furthermore, if someone disagrees with you, it's not a personal attack. Enjoy the music!
