Reimyo CDT-777

Fmpnd, I am also very curious how you compare the AMR with the Reimyo. They were both on my shortlist with the ARC CD7. I bought the CD7 and only once heard the AMR. I liked it a lot but because of the delay in delivery a choose the CD7. Maybe I should have been more patient, or not !!??

Lula and Williamredburry, if either of you are near the Detroit Metro area you can stop by and hear for yourself. If not, e-mail me privately and I can give you my impressions. While I am not a politically correct guy, there is much to like about both units and it may depend on the rest of your system as to which one you prefer. The midrange of the Reimyo is incredible and the AMR is one of the most linear, non-digital, resolving and natural sounding CDPs I have ever heard.

I cannot help you in the comparison with esoteric,however I have the reimyo single unit since its introduction,use it almost daily.It is outstanding it is better than my Zanden Signature combo,meridian 800,the emm SE combo,tthe accuphase dp-85,the redbook playback is better than most sacds.The only cd combo that I find to be better is the new accuphase 800/801 combo which brings a new level to cd/sacd playback.
I beleive the reimyo 777 is the best cd playback for the money and may turn out to be a classic.Good luck.
