Weiss Medea D/A Converter"Whoa! That was my first reaction to the Medea. Oh my was my second. I wonder if can afford to buy this thing? That was my third. I’ve never heard a digital processor resolve as much information as this one does. The Medea unveils loads of detail -- through the high, mid, and bass regions -- to the point where I was scrambling for disc after disc to determine if what I was hearing was some sort of illusion. It wasn’t. " - SoundStage

Einstein The Last Record Player (CD player) More of a musical instrument than A piece of Hifi, wonderfull design and finish allied to a very musical performance. you can tell in the first 10 seconds that the designers love and enjoy music, the emotion pours forth from cd's with abundance. This does not sound like a CD player in a traditional sense, you are not constantly reminded of CD's shortcomings.

Accoustic Arts DRIVE 1   MK 2 There was nothing about the Accustic Arts Drive 1 I didn't like or secretly wished to be different. It's build like a tank, looks like a fine piece of jewelry, doesn't lack any features I'd consider essential and definitely performs in the areas of heightened presence lock with vocals, more percussive incisiveness with transients and better visibility into the micro-data domain of recorded acoustics. Considering the going rates for competing options, its selling price resides on the lower end of the scale and, though not insignificant, actually makes it into one of the more affordable contenders in this admittedly specialized and rarefied sector.
