I dont' buy it:

harsh, analytical, electronic sound...




Sounds like cd player snake oil to me. I was goign to buy this player, but I let my regular digital one "break in" first. That's all the creator of this player needed to do...

Frankly it doesn't make any sense to me. Why, in an age when everyone is trying desparately to keep the "digital accuracy" of their signal and prevent "analog signal loss," would we want to start with an analog cd player. And don't give me the whole "it sounds warmer, less harsh," crap. You are fooling yourself. If you like that sound, change the EQ on your receiver.
