Most enveloping sounding CDP

Oh, I should have looked at your system first. Now that I have, yes, try to hear the Playback Designs MPS-5. It'll be at the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest in the Soundings room. RMAF will be worth the trip because you can hear almost all the alternatives there.

BTW, there are one or two top CD/SACD players with tubes, but, IMHO, that's not what makes them great. As a Pass guy, you know that it's the design and not the pieces used.

I can't look at your room and say that you need to change anything. If you need diffusion, it'd be at the rear. Something to consider.

The back wall behind the listening chair is diffused..Behind the speakers and left and right of the speakers are absorbed..

As I suspected. It looks to me like you've got a wonderful system.

Duke,

Don't be withholdin' no beeswax, now!

Cheers.

I know a amp or a preamp will have more of an effect on this subject..But in the past I have tried some other cd players that offered less of an eveloping soung..
