Re: Positive Feedback review of EMM Labs CDSA SE

I heard it a friend's house recently, and he's loaning it to me so I can do an A-B against my modified Esoteric in my system. Actually, I wasn't that impressed, given all the hype. And I'm not alone: A couple of fellow audiophiles I correspond with didn't care for it, either. I thought my friend's GNSC-modded Wadia 861 beat it convincingly, particularly in the dynamics department. The Wadia was slightly more resolving as well. I agree with PFO that Meitner has eliminated that little "edge" that plagued earlier EMM designs, but, frankly, I was expecting more. It refused to play two discs, and I thought it could've sounded more open. I agree with Allen Wright: I think a series of well-chosen mods executed on a fundamentally sound platform like your SCD-1 can outpace even the Mighty Meitner. I'm sold on the efficacy of modding.
