Okay, I've established that the CD-1 is tops at recreating bass notes of terror-inducing proportions. The sound was equally relaxed, smooth and transparent but its power and extension were superior to my vinyl rig. But in some ways this was better than vinyl.

Within a rich soundstage, the CD-1 drenched my senses in full color music, a fullness that is usually only heard with vinyl. Still coming to grips with the CD-1's fantastic low end grasp, I marveled at Truth and Beauty one more time, how the Ayon relayed the tremendous oiliness and growl of the Leslie-amplified Hammond while also extracting the top-end air and space of Brian Blade's cymbals. The CD-1 never faltered or sounded closed in when relaying complex dynamic passages and it simmered like soup on ballads, gentle solos and sensitive pianissimo instrumental efforts. The CD-1 also has the lowest noise floor, producing astounding clarity coupled to its already generous and big-hearted grasp on the music. The best word I can use to describe its character is palpability, if that is really a proper word. The CD-1 excelled in that regard as perhaps no other machine I have heard, laying out clean, very tight, tonally correct notes that let my brain swim in its luxuriousness.

Hammond B3 organ is the be all and end all for low-end verification and the CD-1 did it proper justice.īass. A hot-wired organ trio of drums, Hammond B3 and tenor sax, the CD-1 served up Truth and Beauty's energetic stick flurries (Brian Blade), blasting tenor beauty (Joshua Redman) and deep-boweled organ growls (Yahel) with exquisite humanity.

Playing organist Sam Yahel Trio's Truth and Beauty was like a trip to the recording studio if that studio was a Blues-drenched Philly soul bar circa 1975. And like my latest amplification addition, the Shindo Haut Brion power amp, the CD-1 follows a musical line with the kind of understanding and musicality that it almost seems to have a flesh and blood heart beating in its high-tech core. The CD-1 presents a grand view into and out of the music, its palpable music plane extending deep and wide in every direction. It out-powers my Kuzma/Denon vinyl rig but also out-soundstages it. I hate to say the CD-1 sounds like analog because it doesn't. Blood flows through the CD-1 like water gushing down an amusement park chute. From acoustic jazz trios to chamber string quartets, from vocals to acoustic bass, from electronica to post bop, the CD-1 presented all the texture, note ambience and decay, the reverberation and absolute power of the recorded event. The CD-1 has the best handle on absolute extension of notes I've heard. It also maximizes attributes like extension, ambience, spatial reality, back of the hall/room ambient cues and coherence, all adding up to one really sweet CD player. Yet what it does lack is anything resembling digital glare.

The CD-1 puts my ears at ease like no CD player I can remember. The first words that come to mind when listening even casually to the CD-1 are calm, correct and concise. This review page is supported in part by the sponsors whose ads are displayed below
