i want a dull, caramel colored cd player any ideas

i like a dull, veiled, laid,back, boring sound capable of putting me to sleep. i hate treble and i don't like detail. i like subtractive coloration to such an extent that all recordings sound the same. you can talk about detail, neutrality all day long.
if you don't tap your foot, it doesn't matter.

i want to relax, not bothered by detail or dynamics. veil the sound and cut off the highs. darkness and dullsville is my motto, by choice. thick caramel syrup makes me happy.

to zaikesman:

what evidence do you have that i am insincere ?

you have a right to prefer your stereo system to sound anyway you want.

why don't i have that right too ?

is there anything i said which sounds like i don't mean what i say ??

have i offended your sensibility and questioned your standards as to what constitues acceptable and/or good sound ??

i welcome a personal conversation.

perhaps i could learn from you.

another thought:
i suspect i have annuciated a position with which no audiophile would agree.

if so, let people suggest that i turn in my audiophile society membership card and be barred from purchasing so called "high end" equipment.

TROLL ALERT!!!!! this guy could very well be sam tellig. that guy used to post over in AA and he was one of the worst trolls i've ever run across.

i can deal with unprofessional. this guy was just out to cause trouble. (much like the thread-starter)

the beuaty of trolls? - ignore them and they go away.

go to the skeet range and fire 200 rounds of 12 gauge without earmuffs....that should turn the sound of any cd player into thick caramel syrup. when the effect runs out, repeat the trip to the range.
