Oh God. Here we go again! Back in Richer Sounds' demo room on Monday morning - most likely with a stonking hangover - to demo the above two CD players to replace my NAD 515BEE. [My amp, Arcam A-18; speakers, Kef Q-300].
Two test tracks:
1. 'Perpetual change' by Yes. Lots of light and shade / quiet bits / noisy bits / tempo changes. Plenty of solo voice / bass / snare drum. Good test.
2. 'King of bohemia' by Richard Thompson. Sparse, acoustic, brilliant.
CD player is the final piece in the jigsaw until it's time to look at digital streaming in about a year or so. Will report back.
