Experience with Unison Research Unico CD player .
I have a Unison Research Unico CD player with valve output stage . My other components are ARC LS27 / Ref 150 and Wilson Audio Sophia 2's . My analogue front end is VPI TNT with Clearaudio tonearm and Benz Micro cartridge . Pre to power interconnects are Harmonic Tech MagicLink 2's and speaker cables are Harmonic Tech Pro 9 SE's . Interconnect between the CD player and the LS27 is .5 metre Cardas Golden Ref ( balanced ) . Both the LS27 & Ref 150 are still going through break in ( my prior amps were LS17 & VTM220 monoblocks ) . With the electronics upgrade I'm finding that the CD player sounds great on jazz and vocals but with rock music the bottom end is decidedly lacking in tightness and definition, ' overly polite ' is probably the best way I could describe it . I have heard that Cardas cables can sound very mellow and I'm wondering if anybody has experiences with what cables work well with this CD player . I don't want to swap my Cd player for something else if I can help it as I mainly use it when I am in ' casual listening ' mode and use my vinyl front end for serious listening . Any comments would be welcome and also any experiences with good CD players under $3K or so ... I am restricted to front loading as my CD player is on a middle shelf ... Many Thanks !
