[net.audio] CD Player Kills Neighborhood Dog

<Munch on this line!>

	It's nice to know that the Technics SL-P7 CD player which I recently
purchased is fuzzy, harsh, and capable of producing migraines. And to
think that it's giving digital audio a bad name!
	Based on many hours of critical listening I find it to be
open, detailed, crisp, clear, and all those other over-used terms we use to
say something sounds good. In short it sounds better than any turntable I
have ever heard by a wide margin.
	Since the comments recently posted on the net were not based on
blind A-B testing , I must question their value.  It's interesting
that Mr. Corwin seems to have ranked the players by the prestiege of the
brand names.

AMEN!  As yet another highly satisfied Technics SL-P7 owner, I think
that Mr. Corwin should have just come out and said that spending more
money on a player AUTOMATICALLY produces better sound.

Funny how many other things this principle seems to apply to.  I even
know people who buy ordinary WATER from the store and claim it tastes
better simply because it comes with a euphonic name like "Perrier"
and costs more than tap water.

J. P. Morgan would be proud.
