Audio Research Reference CD-7

Kevinkwann: Accuracy with digital? Don't we all wish. Digital has a long way still to go to just render the decay of notes in a natural way. For me, who cares about all else that you might classify as accurate. Don't be so quick to slam a product before you give it a listen.

Kevinkwann, all your CD's are perfectly recorded? I doubt that. Do you still want accuracy? Well, good luck. I'd rather have a cd player that plays music than the one that renders 1/3 of my cd collection unlistenable. Just curious, what cd player do you own?

Stanhifi the cd-7 is Branimir's second cdplayer so there is no matter about money.

(his first is Weiss Medea/Jason combo)

As for lower category Esoteric X03 outperformed by the Cary 306 sacd, so maybe the X01 (which is better than X03 of course) is a bit overpriced?

accuracy VS. euphony.... does it matter ? i'll take system synergy anyday of the week.

best thing about CD7
those CD3's will come down in price
