Maybe I haven't noticed before, but in JA's measurements section, nice comment that this player is just like some of the previous ones from other makers, since the subtle mention hint hint that this one gives good CD performance just like other's recently reviewed. Nagra, Linn, Simaudio...instead of it being another monthly breakthrough which things ain't. Each reviewer writes up the product thaty have as themost unique, outsatnding, breakthrough they ever seen. Enough already with piling on the crapola.

I may have concluded that so much stuff recently in teh magazine is like having a standard flush toilet in a low flush world. Why do they keep doing reviews on stuff that harkens BACKWARDS to battery power? Hmmm years ago with stuff they had 67V EVERREADYS providing supplies to tubes, hardly anything new. In an mA stabilizer for stuff i worked on, they had a battery for revernce, voltages, using 2d21 Thyratron tube...So with these products being reviewed using battery powered pre amp, battery powered phono preamps. It's just going BACKWARDS not forward. also a lot of marketing BS.

so I got my July issue early last week in fact. Tell me why if pages are in short supply, is it wasted on things from Malaysia? a box with a vol control and some transformers? And of course this thing was just so wonderful. YET, you guys never want to review some stuff from teh heartland MN. Soem real american made sonic marvels. Amazing how you can find this obscure uselsess stuff, while ignoring some things from right here in MN. When are you gonna review some VanAlstine stuff already? Enough with teh absurditys like $400 wooden boxes with a vol control.

Does anyone know if this is a good CD carousel unit? Is the sound quality good? Is it reliable in playback performance? Thanks.
