I heard the 47 Labs electronics in a store owned by a friend of mine, and the best speakers he had on hand were the Paradigm Reference Series Studio 40s. Now, the Studio 40 measures quite well, throws a nice, stable image, but shows some mild colorations on massed strings and other things. It's not my cup of tea, but its bigger brothers, the Studio 60 and Studio 100 have been placed in Class B in Stereophile's Recommended Components.Your reaction to my assessment that I didn't notice anything special about the sound of the 47 Labs electronics is rather strange. It's simply a subjective report such as you, other subjective reviewers, and all sorts of audiophiles and music lovers provide on this and other sites, which you don't complain about. The sound was quite good, actually, except that Studio 40s aren't quite my cup of tea. I didn't notice anything to distinguish it from other CDPs--but then I guess I didn't have any CDs with pre-emphasis! Now, if HP or you or someone else were to show they could detect the difference in a controlled DBT, that would be fine--and JA has provided data to indicate likely reasons for such audible differences, and they haven't got anything to do with being more accurate!
Ah yes, the unsupported remarks about my "strictly midfi setup," with my speakers judged by Stereophile to be Class A Restricted LF! You must be going by price and age because you can have no other objective basis for such an assessment.
