"Nothing is real, nothing to get hung about."

Well, John, if you haven't laid the DBT debate issues to rest with this month's "As We See It", I don't know what more can be done. Gotta be your best shot yet especially in a literary sense. Again, my sympathies to the reviewers who forsake the pleasures of normal listening for the critical listening required to do their jobs.

CD players for classical music - analogue sounding (?)

So if I replace my Cyrus what should I be looking at ? The Unison CD is one that I've heard great things about, and an Arcam has been suggested, and maybe Musical Fidelity A5 ? I want something that sounds as close to vinyl as possible.

Maybe I need to ditch my NAIM amps and go for valves ?

Having said all that I got the amazing Ashkenazy / Decca recording of the Rachy Symphonic Dances at the weekend, and the recording really showed off the Cyrus.
