I don't know how you would manage this but try to listen to a luxman
d600s with proper amplification and speakers, sighted of course, as
opposed to the whatever player you might using at the moment, there is a
high chance that the sound will just simply amaze you.


Nahh, I'd just level-match and time synch them and do a blind test as
soon as I could.

Without even listening to it, just like, NORMALLY, first?


That's hard to avoid, and there's no reason to avoid it.

To "avoid" listening to a CD player when trying to asses it .....
Hmmm.... What revealing choice of a word, Arny. And somewhat sad too.

But yes, do try not to avoid it, do try and give a listen to that
Luxman, *you* *will* *be* *amazed* ...



Let's face it, if just matching levels would reveal something to you, why
not at least do that?

I am talking about the thing having this IMMENSE soundstage, tall, wide,
deeeeeep. And you are still talking about matching levels. Can't you see
it arny, its totaly irrelevant.



That's your perception. It's just that to me, $3,000 is a good piece of
change.

Yeah, talk about it...


On the one hand I work with transactions that size all the time.

Sure sure, yes.

On
the other hand, I do a little work before I collect $3-4K.

Well I do almost a half a month!

I can do a lot
of good listening tests for $3,000, even if John Atkinson can't.

Ahh the crime of being Jon Atkinson.. Managing editing an international
audio magazine.. Don't you just hate him for that?



Arny, you get to have an opinion as does everybody, ok. Anr yours is that
one should do tests. Ok... Noted.


There you go! Enjoy!

Thanks! Now where is that Margaret when you need her? Usually she would
just blabber out a couple of brand names and the whole investigation
would take a complete new turn, as happened with the amp!
