AMR CD-77

I just picked up my CD-77 yesterday since I am a local buyer.
obviously there is not much I can say at this point except that the packing, the built and the details in the overall appearance are tops.
Something I can say about the sound is that I plugged the unit and played right out of the box, no burn in, not even time to warm up. The impresion ?,well, think about what you experience when you buy a good bottle of wine of a good vintage year and a good wine maker. You open the first bottle when it is still young, at that time you notice some basic qualities that you enjoy inmediately and then anxiously wait to taste the full flavors as the wine matures knowing that it will do nothing but to get better...

AMR has arrived to the US. Follow the feedback from buyers. I have no doubt that it will be very good.

Sorry, no experience with the pre amp.

The CD 77 continues to make music. As it is today is more musicaly satisfying than any othrer player that I have heard or owned. I can only expect that when the burn in is done it will only get to a higher level of performance.

The other CD players worth comparing are the orignal emm combo, CDSD/DCC2. and the Reimyo CD 777.The first I had in my system for 2 years.The second I had on loan for 3 weeks.You may read my comments above.
My equipment consists of: ASR Emitter ll exclusive. Kharma 3.2 sub and speakers. Kubala Sosna emotion interconnects and speaker cables. Electraglide a/c cables.etc
