Yes and no. Yes in the sense I am firm in my beliefs based on what I hear. No in the reality that I accept the fact that there is a plethora of players around the Prima's price point; many of which are simply better. I also concede that system dependency is a salient issue. However there are quite a few players that will outperform the Prima if A/B'd in any given system. Thank you.
Yes, don't worry and be happy as all of this is fun! The Prima may be perfect sounding to another who likes a different sound. This hobby is all about what you like to hear.

If you try the Prima and like it, then keep it and enjoy. If you find it lacks body, send it back and try another. That simple. Even better, buy it used for the right price and sell if you want to try another. If you buy right you wont lose money and can try another. I love this site just for this reason.

So many have raved about the Prima I had to try it. My experience was not like theirs. I sold it after two months hoping it would "change". Rooms can also impact the sound of a system and front end dramatically. A system that works great in one room will have "issues" in another.

Just try and enjoy like other posters have said. Great to try your two top choices side by side and decide. Sell the loser or send it back as part of a trial!

This is how I deal with knowing, or suspecting, that there are cdps out there for the same price that may be better. If I'm grooving with mine, it (the Prima in this case) is a keeper. I think I have a ridiculous pair of tympanics as far as being on the picky side. If it works for me, that is all that matters. Sometimes I get, yeah, a bit ridiculously zealous passing the audiophoolish word. Now, believe me, if I get the upgrade itch (anyone know about that?) you can bet that I'll think about replacing my Prima. For now it (my entire system) meets my tympanic needs. Proud of me?-- I didn't mention you know what.... peace, warren
