Levinson 390s vs Mephisto II


Is anybody familiar with both of these players? I have heard the Mephisto II. Is it worth a four hour drive to hear the 390S? Is the 390S better built than the Mephisto II?

Jtinn, what do you mean by sounding better with the drawer open?

By the way, whatever CD player I buy will be used with Rowland Model 10 and Synergy IIi and Soliloquy 6.5s.
If you keep the cover on the player open, it sounds much more transparent.
I tried this simple tweak last night and was very impressed. Particularly with less than great recordings the cover being open made the music much more life like and open. Thanks for the tweak. Do you have any others? Any chance of doing any damage to the player this way? Thanks again.
Gajmusic: No damage that I am aware of. I am glad it made a difference for you.
