Agreed, but a thread asking a question about "whats the best cd player" I just find kinda useless. Most of the threads are going to give very limited opinions(people are going to recommend what they have, and may do so without acutally having alot of experience with multiple components in the same class, under the same conditions with the same gear,same room condition etc etc, get the drift??).
The real question should have been "whats a good range of cd players for X amount of money, and can you honestly decribe their potential sonic characteristics"? Since there are MANY great players, all with their own positives and negatives. Ive had about 2 dozen great source units over the last few years and have found all to have benefits and downfalls to one extent or another. Ive found that some lower cost source units may not sound as good as more expenisve units out of the box, but with a few small tweaks and mods had performance that would be substantially improved where it rivals units costing more. All part of the hobby etc. But if you kind of agree with Im stating then you understand where Im coming from.
