Good point Newbee, let me substitute the word musical instead of warm. I dont want a player that is so "analytical" that its not enjoyable. It does get confusing though w/o a demo as I have read several reviews of certain $2000-3000.00 players comparing favorably to a $7000.00 player. I dont want to name names because I dont want to flame. Two players though that Ive heard very good reports on were the Top Wadia and Sim Audio. Keep your thoughts coming, pro and con. If a $2000-$3000.00 player gets me 99% there I would go with that, but if their really is , and its hard to quantify in numbers , but say a 10 percent improvement I would rather spend the extra 2 or 3 K to have the best . So far very enlightening , Thanks !
Wadia think about expensive CD Players ?
Hi , I live in an area where its difficult to demo the really high end digital gear. Honestly I dont mind paying a high price for CDP Playback , but w/o a demo , Im wondering if its worth it. Let me define worth it if I may. Will a top of the Line Wadia for example sound clearly better than say a Rega , or a Sony ES. Im not expecting it to trounce it, Im just asking if you have the bucks , is the improvement clearly audible ? Im looking for warm ,detailed involving sound, my speakers are Electrostats, Amp top of the Line Sunfire. Appreciate your thoughts .
