Wish I could be there.
My request is that before you render your individual and/or consensus evaluation, would each of you please answer the following questions:
1) What kind of music do you predominantly listen to?
2) What do you listen for while evaluating a component? In other words, are you listening primarily with an ear for critical analysis? Is the best player the one that is the most accurate? Or do you listen perhaps for an overall immersion into the music? I find this is key in knowing what sonic pyramid that person is climbing.
3) How long have you been into high end audio?
4) How long do you expect to have your next player before scouting for another?
Thanks for considering these (and other) pieces of background information, all which is helpful in knowing more about the person who is evaluating the product.
Have fun listening, guys!
