The AVM got better to be sure. That said, I guess I do not like the more "analytical" sound it offers and hedge more towards warmer, rounder, richer sound. I am moving elsewhere as far as CD player goes. That said, the AVM may be outstanding to someone elses ear in a different system. For me it was too detailed, too revealing (attributes some love). So... I am sure it is an excellent CD player... just not for me. To amplify this and use a related example, I have a friend who simply loves Wilson speakers --- to me they are generally too bright. I don't like them at all yet I would never say that Wilson speakers are poor speakers --- they are excellent speakers... if you like that sound. Pretty much the same with the AVM CD player --- I am certain many would love it in their system.
For Calvinj --- I have worked with the same company as well and they have been fair, reasonable and actually quite accommodating --- yes, slow... very slow with service --- but they have, at least for me, been really good to work with. I have found them quite fair.
