I just have to shake my head at the immodesty and presumption of a true believer whose faith requires the conclusion that all CD players sound the same when anyone who has done any critical listening of different CD players in a given system would know the "all CDPs are the same" mantra is so much foolishness.
I have gone through many CD players, some very highly regarded by reviewers, like the Cambridge D500SE, the Pioneer DV 578AS, which I've sold or otherwise passed along because they are not as good as better units. Now, by better units, I do not mean more expensive units. One of my favorites is the Onkyo MX504, a CDP with a garage sale value of about $5.00.
Tonight, I swapped out the Pioneer for a Sony DVP S7000ES flagship CD/DVD player. Is there a difference? I'm laughing at anyone whose theory requires them to say "no," in the face of the overwhelmingly obvious, audible truth to the contrary.
