I don't own one, but was looking for one also. I didn't see the review that you read, but at www.enjoythemusic.com there are a couple of reviews. They like them a lot!
Krell_man, I think you might be confusing Lector and Vecteur. I checked enjoythemusic and found no Lector reviews but two Vecteur reviews. The Lector is an Italian top-loader that HP raved about a few issues ago. If I'm wrong my apologies.
I saw that Music Direct is selling it. You may want to ask them what they thought of it. I have found most of those guys have good ears. I usually speak with Mark, John, or Bes.
I just bought the CDP 05 Lector this week...I listened to both of the Naims and all of the Arcams and this player simply blew everything away...There is a warmth and space with this cd player that is simply incredible. I paid 1995 for mine in New York.
