Mattnshilp, thanks for your informative mini-review on your CD-T300. Would you be willing to share with us the other components in your system? Have you ever tried other DACS/TRANSPORTS or CDPS in this price range in your home system? Thanks.

I re-read my last posting and wantt o make something clear...

I've had a Mephisto IIx, Arcam FMJ CD33, Levinson 39 (I think that's what the number was), Meridian CD player and now the Trivista and the T 300.

The differences between all of these players is minimal overall as they are all superior products. I've come to enjoy the added "analog" sound that the tubed output players offer and have found myself sticking with them. Just my personal preference. Dollar for the dollar the Arcam FMJ CD33 is clearly the walk-away winner, costing almost half as much as all the other players and performing almost as well in every reguard. But you do get that last bit of performance for that extra investment.

My system includes the above sources as well as the Super Scout Master I mentioned, a pair of BAT VK-60 monoblocks, Hovland HP100 pre-amp and Verity Audio Parsifal speakers. I'm using a combination of Acoustic Zen and Audience cable throughout and currently using the PS Audio UPC-200 power conditioner (but I am eyeing the Audience product).

Hope that helps. But we're lucky these days. Top notch CD players are finally offering us performance that is worth the investment. Of course, I'm still not ready to give up my LP's...

Happy Listening.

I'm happy. It's a perpetual work in progress. I'm toying with the idea of a TACT 2.2 room correction product to "fix" the room issues I have (my wife won't permit acoustic treatments).

Any opinions on electronic room correction?

And anyone else with experience regarding the Shanling CD player. I don't want to kill this thread by changing the subject... Someone else has to have an opinion as well....
