    Considering Arcam sa20

    Denon is on the bright side of neutral. I think not a good choice with metal tweeters. Very lively. Volumeknob too sensitive. My choice would be the arcam.

    No streaming, CDP but Vinyl?

    I don't like streaming and will go back to physical medium. First i thought cd but with my music, symphonic metal, many bad cd's because of the loudness war like Once from Nightwish. There is now also a Vinyl version of Once. Isn't Vinyl the best?

    I need more time for a decision. Streaming no. That decision i have made. It's now back to CD or Vinyl. With my music, most symphonic metal, maybe Vinyl better.
