It is distressing to me to see this thread, which I as its initiator intended to be a robust and honest debate over price-for-value considerations in three CD transports (ok, the GRYPHON is technically a PLAYER because it has an in-built DAC), But, unintentionally, this discussion has, for reasons indecipherable to me, devolved into an anti-semitic rant.
Such is life on the Internet, which is open to ALL comers, including those who are very easily derailed by the slightest pebble left on the railway tracks, which causes them to veer off the rails into discussions totally unrelated to the subject at hand (do as the Swiss Albula Railway does - put your heavy locomotives at the FRONT of your trains whenever there is a heavy snowfall along your railway’s routes: ★ 4K 🇨🇭Samedan - Albulabahn - Chur; cab ride after over 1 meter snowfall [12.2020 - YouTube )!
