This is cut and pasted from the review I just posted to Audio Review:

"Aloha,

This is an excellent player and I'd like to thank www.audiocompositions.com for allowing me to audition it for 3 weeks in my home. A great place to buy gear from with *very* competitive pricing. The $700 I paid was for a demo unit.

My gear:
Audio Refinement int amp
Ah! Tjeob '99 CDP
HHB CDR850 CDP/recorder
Meadowlark Kestrel Hot Rods
DH Labs BL-1 series II and bi-wired T14

I have been enjoying my Ah! Tjeob for quite some time now. But was curious about how the Complete CDP might mate with my AR amp. The Complete is a very nice looking player with excellent build quality. Very solid. If bought used or as a demo it represents a very good value.

CAVEAT EMPTOR:

These are going to just be my impressions as it associates my particular gear and tastes. With different associated equipment and tastes you may come up with a very different impression. Thus, as always, it's best to audition in your own home before you buy.

IMPRESSIONS:
The Complete has a very pleasant way of presenting the music. The mid and upper frequencies are done extremely well by this unit. Very natural, highs are liquid and smoothe, almost tube like. But for the first week I found the unit to be too "thin" for my tastes, it lacked body, especially when compared to the Tjeob. I found the bass lacking. Soundstage%
