I too prefer the sound of my Dad's Rega Planar table over most CDs of the same
album. Unfortunately, he's not letting it go... However, I must admit that the
new Nakamichi CD player I bought to replace my 10 year old Sony unit is a
*vast* improvement. It is quite amazing how much extra low level detail and
"flavour" a decent CD player can extract from the CD. But I still feel even the
best CD players are still struggling to match a high end table/cartridge
system.
So when did you say those 90Khz CDs are coming out... ? ;-)
