PS - I have owned a Lector CDP-0.6T since 2011 and it is great. Nicest sounding player I've ever owned. Warm and as analog sounding a digital source that I've heard - esp when played next to an Ayre Codex. Probably should have saved an extra 6 mos. and purchased the CDP 7T but was told at the time that the less pricey model was 90% of the performance of the 7. I have upgraded power cords and bought NOS tubes and both those tweaks improved the performance. I have owned Cary CD players - was excellent for the time but could sound edgy and it's transport failed ultimately. A REGA Apollo cd player was ok but didn't last long in my system. A little dull. I thought i was having problems with the Lector player and i sent to their authorized service center in Connecticut and the issue was an NOS tube. Cary on the other hand, did not want to service the older unit. So much for their customer service. Moral of the story, a Lector CD player is a good, safe purchase.
Lector CDP 7 Mk I, II or III ?
I plan to part with my second system Ayre gear to refinance a purchase for the main system and am considering to retain only the Yamamoto headphones with another good cdp. And so I came accross Lector, unknown on the local market and thus even more interesting.
Now, I did a search on Agon and found several people specifically advising the CDP 7 Mk I, clearly prefering it over the later versions.
Is the original Lector CDP 7 sonically better? Any specific reason for that?
Thanks in advance
