Best Sounding Portable CD Players???
The portable you probably heard of is the Optimus CD-3400. The other only superior CD portables soundwise are the ironclad Denon DCP-100 and DCP-150. Do note that all of these are discontinued, but you might have luck looking around for some.

I also use HT Prosilway Mk II - excellent interconnect. I wonder if anybody has compared it with the Coincident interconnect? I noted that the Coincident was all copper, so I hope it won't just sound warm, but with not much clear treble to match. ... 
Any, good portable CD players?

Sensitive ears to speakers. Help!!!
I believe it to be of Danish make (great speaker drivers and butter cookies, too) If memory serves me correctly, you can purchase the OWII tweeters from Zalytron. [http://www.zalytron.com/hiquphon.htm] for $79 each. I centered my choice of soft do... 
Sensitive ears to speakers. Help!!!
Thanks for your input, Carl, not to mention that Dynaudio drivers are about go the way of the dinosaur (not in performance, but just extinction). Talking about other tweeters than from this famous pair (Dynaudio and Scan-Speak 9x00 series), may I ... 
Sensitive ears to speakers. Help!!!
