Hi
Ive now spent a few years paying attention to hifi.
One thing that seems to be happening is an inconsistancy in product sound, ie listen to say one CD player then buy that model take it home and the sound is different. Im not talking about the different locations or systems, im talking about exact apples for apples with a unit that is warmed up and and run in.
Has anyone else seen this ? particularly you guys with retail experience do you agree that certain units just seem to be right or wrong sometimes ?
From an electronics point of view this makes a lot of sense, the performance of silicon etc can vary greatly, the CODEC's and DAC's in a CD could easily vary from batch to batch.
Anyone got any thoughts ?
Alan
