Like i'm sure you all know... i'm a firm believer in the "garbage in, garbage out" principle. Your audio system is only as good as it's weakest link. And if the music is no good from the start, speakers, amplifiers, and cables will just carry the same bad sound quality through the whole signal chain, no matter how good the components are. Through an orpheus, a PCDP would still sound like a PCDP. Though the orpheus would be allowing the pcdp to live to it's fullest capabilities, it would still sound like a pcdp. This is why i laugh at all of those people who buyhigh end headphone amps and still use "budget" sources. If we did a double-blind test, i'm sure my turntable, with it's high-end signet cartridge, and my diy Mosfet amp, would have more realism and musicality than anyone's Denon 370 and MG Head OTL. Anyone care to challenge me? I've owned both setups.
If i could do it all over again, i'd probabally get some Grado RS-2's, a MAD Ear4, and a used Linn LP12.
