John,
I found my year old post on Audiogon. This is what I wrote:
"I find it to be sensational. It replaced a very fine Lavry fed by a good Panasonic CD player. Soundstages beautifully and with the right material extends easily past the speakers. Great sense of depth. Terrific dynamics and strong and detailed bass. Very revealing, so watch out for poorly engineered disks. Needs tons of break-in. It encourages me to buy SACDs, including the old RCAs which are wonderful and inexpensive. It is Avery Fischer Hall rather than Carnegie, so system matching matters. For me it makes digital much more competitive with my vinyl. Among the joys is putting youtube videos up wirelessly on the screen and enjoying many performances with excellent video and audio that are available. They're getting better all the time. Much more enjoyable than watching on the computer. I should add that I'm only using two channels of it. And did I mention that it needs tons of break-in."
Of course, in different systems and to different ears YMMV.
And then there are the Bluray disks and downloads and on and on.
In fact I found it so good that I was almost tempted to give up on analog. But then I got a ringweight (everyone should have one of these), and it is now back and forth for me. I'll never have nearly as many silver disks as I have lps.
Best,
Mel
