DVD or CD Player

[markw]

Do you think there would be a market for a $400 or $800 CD player if your $69 unit offered the same sonic qualities?

Good question... Nobody disputes the fact that electronics can be made to impart their own individual "sonic signature". ...and you better believe they do. Otherwise they would have nothing to tout in their ads.

Once that's accepted as a given (and logical minds do), then it boils down to a matter of preference and how much one is willing to pay for that. Lotsa people willingly shell out many bucks for heaping helpings of harmonic distortion claiming it's "more musical".

Perhaps to them it is, but again, that's a personal judgment, which should not be miscontrued as "better" as in "more accurate" sound.

Do you want steak sauce on that fine, aged perfectly done porterhouse? Ya pays yer money and ya takes yer choice but don't ever, ever try to tell me or anyone else what is "better" for me You'll just show the world what an arrogant fool you are.
