Most enveloping sounding CDP


With so many CDP's on the market using tubes.And tubes usually associated with the "enveloping sound"..What player really stands out in this catagory??

The CDP has little to do with an enveloping sound.

A preamp has a much larger effect in this regard.

IMO.
Spaz, mebbe it's none of my beeswax, but...

An important ingredient in recreating a sense of envelopment is a strong, diffuse, slowly-decaying reverberant field. In eyeballing your system, I see lots of absorptive panels lining the walls of your room, but no diffusors (maybe I'm not seeing clearly, though). I would suggest lots of diffusion panels and few if any absorption panels as more likely to give you a sense of envelopment than a new CD player.

Also, omnidirectional or polydirectional speakers create more of a sense of envelopment than conventional monopoles. And there are things that can be done in the bass region which also create or enhance the sense of envelopment.

Like I said, mebbe it's none of my beeswax.
