New EAR Yoshina Acute CD Player?
The Cary is a terrific CD player; in fact, I'm really hoping the Romulus can bring it because while the Cary is a bit long in the tooth, it's still very capable. That said, I have no need for two players so I'd certainly be willing to let the Cary... 
New EAR Yoshina Acute CD Player?
Thanks Jafant, I've taken the plunge on the Romulus which I'm expecting to arrive in a couple of weeks. It will be replacing my current source, a Cary 306 Professional. I'm a beliver in keeping it simple, the Romulus will be paired with an LFD NCS...

Thanks Jafant. I'm curious, do you recall what your impressions of the Aesthetix Romulus were? Also, do you remember who the dealer was? Thanks again,Jay

Shunyata Zitron Python Burn-In?
Thanks to all for your input. I'm only about 24 hrs in so by all accounts a long way to go. While I can certainly understand Guido's appreciation for the process, I guess I'm just to impatient. My source, (Cary Audio 306 Pro CD/SACD player) is a f... 
Oppo BDP-95 as a pure two channel audio source?
Lmacuuga, just to be sure I'm clear, your friend bought the Oppo BD-95/105 it solely based on it's two channel cd capability? What source prior to the Oppo?

Bryston BCD-1 Player Owners
Rgd, There is definitely a lack of synergy with the Bryston, which really isn't to surprising often occurs when one makes the type of significant upgrades to amp and speakers as I have, as well as, the fact that while the Bryston is a good player,... 
Better Upgrade Path? Better CDP or add a DAC?
RLwainwright, I know the Oppo is highly regarded by HT and PC enthusiast which is after-all, it's intended audience. I have yet to hear from a single person who has purchased an Oppo based solely on it's two channel audio prowess, which is what I'... 
Who is the WORST Audio Shop?
Again, we can clearly see here a pattern of poor experiences by several people at the same dealers. 
Better Upgrade Path? Better CDP or add a DAC?
Thanks Marakanetz. Are you of the opinion that cd players are becoming obsolete primarily due to the emergance of PC based music? Thanks again for your input. 
Bryston BCD-1 Player Owners
Thanks for the input Rgd. Initially, I was very excited about the immediate and obvious audible improvement to the overall sound of my system once my new amp and speakers were in place and had no intention of looking to upgrade my source. However,... 
Bryston BCD-1 Player Owners
I was very satisfied with my Bryston until I recently upgraded my amp and speakers. It now sounds like the week link and I'm exploring which may be the more effective upgrade path, i.e. a better one box player or adding a DAC. Would appreciate any...
