Would the sonic character of the TT be displayed equally if played back on an Apex DVDP and a reference quality CDP?

If not then it would seem to me that the idea is flawed. One is not hearing the TT, but a representation of the TT based on the performance of the source. The source may range from vastly inferior to vastly superior.
Consider how a cheap TT might sound if a cdr of its performance were played back over a state of the art CDP. I would think that the SOTA cdp might make the cheap TT sound much better than it actually does. In the same way a cheap cdp or dvd player might make the sound of a high quality TT sound much more worse than it really is.
IMO this has about as much validity as hearing a component in an audio showroom and thinking it will sound the same in your system at home which is made up of different components than the showroom system. There are too many variables at play in each of these practices for an accurate outcome.


Life has lots of trials and lots of music to help us through them.
