xa5400es, emm labs, Meridian for classical piano.

I have both the Sony 5400ES and the Oppo 95. I modified them using Dan Wright of Modrights tube mods. I also had the Playback Designs cd player that retails for 15,000.00. The Sony and Oppo both sound way better than the Playback. Overall I prefer the Oppo 95.

Rgs92 I hope the EMM has more body in the midrange than the PD if not its not for me.

I thought the PD was thin in the mids an hifi sounding not very musical to me. I guess I would have to hear the EMM in my own system.
