Lexicon RT-20 ... Interesting lack of information

Thanks to Pete for bring this player to my attention, because it is certainly NOT well documented.
Which leads me to a few questions about this player ...

#1- Why would a player that originally sold new for $5000 now sell new for $1000 ???

#2- If it was a truly great $5000 player that is now a virtual steal, why doesn't EVERYONE use it ???

#3- Does anyone find it interesting that none of the major magazine publications reviewed it ? ie; Stereophile, Absolute Sound, Hi Fi + ... ect ?

Don't get me wrong. I'm certainly not being rude with these questions. This is just the questions that came to my mind after doing some research on this product.

Sure makes me wonder how this player would stack up against players like the Cambridge 840C and the Marantz 8001 .... Too bad there's no articles comparing them.

For $900+,it is a solid performer with very good CD sound and the same on DVDs
My opinion too.
HOWEVER, you will be buying another player in ¬2yrs time cause, no b-ray.

I sure do appreciate evryone's input and advice. I spent another day searching the web, and found an additional couple of reviews on the RT-20. It seems this is what I'll be buying. I'll just get a cheap Blu Ray player later if I feel the need.

Tim, if you like it 1/2 as much as I'm enjoying mine you'll
be very pleased. Recently I started using a a CD treatment
after reading comments by Robert Harley of The Absolute Sound. Previously I simply cleaned the CD & thought that was enough. I find his comment were spot on regarding Ultrabit Platinum and the RT-20 certainly makes the improvements very obvious. Good luck. Pete
