Revel Ultima Salon opinions
I had a pair that I inherited in a business deal lol. Sent them to revel to be repaired to fix some issues caused by the previous owner. Revel could not fix them and had to pay fright to get them back. Over 900 spent on freight ouch. Sold them to ...

Class D amps that are superior to all or most?

Should I still buy a CD player? Suggest one?
I second the CEC transport.   They just flat out sound better than other CD players. I,ve had at least a dozen in the last 30 years and the CEC has always been the best sounding of them all.
