Anyone compared Droplet to the Raysonic CD168?

Mtjstark, FWIW when you start a post with a statement "I hate to piss on the parade of you ray guys, but...." I should think that you would expect someone to ask you to put your money where your mouth is, that is you should tell us all about the tests you conducted using the Raysonic in direct comparison with the Droplet, including what tubes you were using in the Raysonic, as well as what all of the associated equipment might be. The absence of such comments really evicerates the worth of your testimonial. At least to anyone who might really care. Unsupported testimonials are a dime a dozen around here.

Also, it escapes me why you would, in essence, think that your opinion was of greater value to anyone than, for example, the opinion of Larryken who had owned a Droplet for 3 years and had opted for a Raysonic. Is he some sort of dufus and you are an expert?

"Please give me a break". Not likely so long as you are going to "piss on parades" with nothing more that personal opinions of dubious value.

:-(

I never said or suggest anything of that sort. Trying to put the words in my mouth is not going to work .....sorry. I know what I said and stand by it.

The only true statement in your post is that it is in fact my personal opinion and should be taken as such.

Seems like your are asking me to prove my honesty, knowledge or truthfulness. Well, let me put it this way:
I have nothing to prove to you or anyone else. Even if I was sucked into your little game it would not change a thing......don't you think?????

I don't write reviews like yourself since I do not feel that my qualifications and language are up to the task.
Opinions or suggestions posted by me on AgoN or other sides are exactly that. And if you (for whatever reason) don't agree with my experiences or point of view.....fine.
There is nothing wrong with that either. You feel that my statement was bias because I own this particular CD player...... I do not exactly believe that insinuation but I would be very surprised if it wasn't the case with most audiophiles who own audio gear they worked so hard for.

If you must know, I helped out in Raysonic room at 2008 CES and heard plenty of Rays before that as well as after.
Including 24K speakers and 10K amps.....which but away were also Rays and were also not my cup of tea. How honest do you want me do be??????
