I happen to find the unit pleasing to the eye and ear just the same...I probably in the minority on that point. Enjoy the shootout.

No I wont...and yes I think its very musical. But I'm sure Mr Peabody having that trained ear could tell me where it really shines or falls. Im looking forward to it. But if I did get another player and it was not the Emo, I'd have to get another MF seeing that the X-RAY shares a lot with there higher priced players. I cant say the MF is dark nor can I say it bright. Its very balanced and the rhythm is unbelievably detailed and smooth. I just cant believe how they make the Canton's sound. Its like I have new speakers. My last upgrade will be some floor standers. I do have a few SA CD's so my next upgrade will be a SACDP only machine, perhaps the Marantz 8001 and then new speakers and cables. That will be it at least for a few years until I can go totally nuts and spend some real money. There is a reaon I still drive my 1992 Saturn.
