Symphony; Ormandy "Verdi Requiem; Szell's Rossini Overatures, Joplin's Cheap
Thrills, Dylan's Blonde on Blonde comparison disks).

Well, it would sure as heck sound *different*! That it 'bested' your
CD player is of course only your personal opinion.

I dunno - if he listened to it - I figure it passed the only test required -
and it is his opinion - as you would say that it didn't best it based upon
no data or listening.
