Did you mean thin as in sparse in Japan - not many of them?
BTW what is considered the best Japanese CDP?
'Thin' in describing the sound can mean different things.
Thin, as in neutral - lacking coloration (where such coloration yields a false tone body that lends some unnatural richness to the tone body).
Thin, as in lacking tone body information, with a lack of resolution of tone body nuances (like the SA5000 headphone or like many SS amps compared to many tube amps with the best tubes).
Thin, as in lacking fullness, where fullness means the tone expands in the soundstage but with a blurred edge to give a focused and compact 3-D image with empty air surrounding the tone body.
Two out of three of these 'thin' meanings are bad (though often interpreted as good by many).

If anyone would like to speak to this point I would be appreciative (as I'm sure others would too) because this player is on a short list for me when I get back. |
