Have your say & ask the experts

Octopo:

There's a huge thread a few down from this one about them not working with certain cd's......

Octopo:

Yes, apart from this little niggle that seems to affect some people it sounds great. I can't wait to hear one, e?

Wow, Octopo, a classic !!

Octopo:

Eh? Everybody on this thread has said they haven't heard one?

Reminds me of this if you substitute 'heard the 8 SEs' for 'seen the eyes '

 

Percy: You know, they do say that the Infanta's eyes are more beautiful
than the famous Stone of Galveston.

Edmund: Mm! ... What?

Percy: The famous Stone of Galveston, My Lord.

Edmund: And what's that, exactly?

Percy: Well, it's a famous blue stone, and it comes ... from Galveston.

Edmund: I see. And what about it?

Percy: Well, My Lord, the Infanta's eyes are bluer than it, for a start.

Edmund: I see. And have you ever seen this stone?

Percy: (nods) No, not as such, My Lord, but I know a couple of
people who have, and they say it's very very blue indeed.

Edmund: And have these people seen the Infanta's eyes?

Percy: No, I shouldn't think so, My Lord.

Edmund: And neither have you, presumably.

Percy: No, My Lord.

Edmund: So, what you're telling me, Percy, is that something you have never
seen is slightly less blue than something else you have never seen.

Percy: (finally begins to grasp) Yes, My Lord.

What do you mean? I've heard they are great, but I've not heard them.

I suspect when reviewing the mags all use tried and trusted original disks rather than CDRs.

I love mine - terrific sound, bags of energy, as clear as a bell, and reinvigorating my CD collection. At the same time, very smooth when it wants to be, e.g. when the wife puts on Norah Jones - the vocals sound beautiful.

Oh, and I've not had a single disc error, except once when I put in a disc which had a long hair stuck to the playing surface. I'm beginning to wonder whether the people propagating these stories are:

a) employees of a rival;

b) people with some random aversion to the company or its products;

c) people who are only playing counterfeit and copied discs;

d) cack-handed at putting CDs in; or

e) a combination of the above.

That, or the classical CD labels I'm playing produce better quality CDs than the manufacturers played by the complainants.
