| REVIEW: Mccormack UDP-1 Deluxe Hi Behene,Sorry if my words sounds so defensive. That was not my intention.Maybe I didnt explain myself as I would have wanted. Now, I will try harder.I meant "Musical soul" as a lack of organic, liquid, sound. I didnt use that word to qualify the... | |
| REVIEW: Mccormack UDP-1 Deluxe HiThanks for the comments. I never use the word "musical" because is a word hard to describe and anyone can have a different aproach to its real meaning. For start, I have heard the VR4jr for a very long time in different set ups and I can say tha... | |
| Best analog sounding cd player under 5K I have to clarify one thing. The differences between SACD and redbook on the UDP1 were indeed very short. But, SACD has a special characteristic in his way of represent sound that make its sound more analog like. Maybe a redbook could sound more d... | |

| What to upgrade from Bluenote Koala? $3500 ish I feel the need to jump in here to clarify one issue.I agree with Mr Tennis on the irritating being upper midrange/lower treble emphasis in the frequency response. But, I dont think that irritating sindrome can only be perceived by people with sen... | |
| Best analog sounding cd player under 5K I know the sound of turntable, arm and cartridge can alter the sound of an analog rig. But overall there is a sonic signature which differs greatly from the digital reproduction. So, "analogue sounding" is a sound that has the basic character of t... | |
