Oh yeah Man ! I'm not one of those guys who talks out of my behind. I think though we can settle as sying that perhaps it is more personal taste and associated equipment. I just think that it is a little nutty when some affordable piece of gear ge...

I would take the cheaper Rotel 971 over the planet any day. So it's not just that more expensive players are better it's that cheaper ones are!

Best Sounding used amplifier under 1000???
