<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. Steve Johnson

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. Phil
