A new company, Abbingdon Music Research (AMR) is hitting the market with a new CD player, CD-77. This sounds to be a very promising player -- selectable oversampling (none to 24/96), tube putput, lab grade master clock, custom top loading transport, built like a tank (even with copper clad shielding), etc...

Has anyone had the chance to audition this yet??? I hear they will be at HE07, but unfortunately the wife wants to see the Queen in Williamsburg VA that weekend:( Sure would love to see the CD-77 in Stereophile mag (hint hint).

Time to change your TT. This has better coloring. Looks like early 30's motif. Older looking better sounding. http://teresaudio.com/certus/certus_460_big.jpg

The local Classical station here in Austin broadcasts the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra as well as the Disney Orchestra. The quality of the Pittsburgh broadcast is considerably better than that of Disney.

Have any of you guys actually attended events at both and is the Pittsburgh experience that much better or is the Disney experience rather average? I'm curious as to whether the Pittsburgh orchestra is as good as they come across via the broadcasts or if it's simply a matter of the broadcasts themselves being of particularly higher in quality.

I'm wondering why the Harbeth M40 never made it into Recommended Components? It was reviewed by John Marks a while back. Was it an oversight? Or simply that he did not think it worthy? He obviously likes the littlest Harbeth (HL-P3-ES2)!

P.S. I'd love to see John Atkinson give the M40 a full review!
