MHZS CD player

Owned both a 33 and 88. Very stout players, some of the heaviest i've had. The 33 was great with rock -- forward, rhythmic, good bass. Nice soundstage. The 88 was more refined and tube rectified. but can't remember much more. I didn't like the buttons on the 88 -- they stuck. Pac Valve (Joe is whom you'll talk to) seemed to be on it. Never an email unanswered or a phone call not taken (even on Saturday!)

I started with them as their stuff was cheaper then equivalent -- not bad, but I sort of graduated from Chi-Fi. May revisit at another day, who knows. Wouldn't hesitate to deal with them again. If you're thinking of buying one they are very good players for the $. But you probably won't resell them for near what you paid for them. See if they have any demo gear, I bought my 88 this way and it was ~$200 cheaper.

Regarding Chayro's post, there's a lot of info out there in Google land concerning cheap parts in the MHZS and touted as something more. I recall someone named Lampizator (a European audio modder) who took apart some MHZS players and 'exposed' them. Still, and you'll find this also, the proof is in the sound, and they sounded fine.

Despite the left-handed nature of the compliment, that sounds like high praise from someone trying to portray a product as fraudulent. It must sound pretty f'ing good.

It did (the 88). The nice thing about buying from Pac Valve is the service aspect down the road. It seems that their products have a pretty good track record. They don't strike me as trying to make a fast buck off cheap products.
