looking for good detailed and warm player

I am not sure. Has anyone ever accused the Sonus Faber Extrema's of being warm. I would suggest you stop looking for a patch to fix your problem and just get a nice tube amp and preamp. Then not only will you have some warmth but also a more relaxed yet totally involving listening experience (with the right amplifier & preamplifier).

you can't have both. by definition, warmth is a subtractive, meaning a loss in detail.

there is a balance between some loss in detail and the presence of warmth. the listener must decide what an ideal mix is.

in my opinion all 24 bit players have enough detail. thus, i would try to find a player as warm as possible.

consider audio research cd7 or amr 77.

Thanks people.

Sorry i forgot to mention my budget is lil low.
about 1200-1500 $.
I hope it's enough for satisfying results ...
Any ideas?

Thanks in advance !!!

I respectfully disagree. Warmth does not necessarily mean a loss of detail. It does however mean no detail at all. Rather good resolution. In other words, if you are hearing details, you are in that "analytical mode". I enjoy the "musical mode" so I prefer equipment that has good resolution but warmth.

So I maintain, ditch the solid state!!!! Try a really good single ended amp.

neutral and warmth are mot the same. thus, if a stereo system is considered "neutral" it is not considered "warm". if a stereo system is considered "warm" it is not considered "neutral". thus if neutral is a term denoting no coloration and warm is not neutral, it follows that warm is a coloration.

warm is used to indicate an emphasis upon a certain aspect of frequency response. if a cd is warm it doesn't mean the stereo system is warm. not all cds are warm, so that if the stereo system is warm all the times, it is a coloration.

if one cd is warm and another is not , the one that is not will probably sound more resolving of musical information.
