It will be easier to get what you want with the choice of an amplifier, cables, and speakers, more than a CD player. Nordost cables tend to be forward, especially the Blue Heaven and SPM.
CD Player with a Front Row Presentation?
I'm looking for a CD player with a presentation that puts me in the front row. I'm not crazy about a laid-back, mid hall sound. I like the music to jump right out at me. Price is not the most important factor, I'm more concerned with the sound. Any suggestions?
