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

"I have no idea why it has been listed for 19 days without being sold."

"Used" cd players of just about any make have been very slow to sell. Just take a look at the current listings, many great players for sale, with no buyers.

Once you get to a certain level of cd playback, a "better" sounding player becomes more difficult to find. One option is to consider modified players. And if your handy, do the mods yourself. Having look at the innards of many costly players in the 5K+ range, many if not most of them use atleast some "cheapo" parts.
