But, on a more serious note, I have often wondered if 'tubed' CDPs
sound
any better (I've never heard one myself) - having witnessed a vast
number* of people here being staggered backwards to hear CDs
(including
their own) played through valve amps for the first time!!

Of course they sound DIFFERENT.


But have you actually *heard* one...??


"Better" is purely a *subjective opinion* in that case with large
numbers in
each camp.
*Objectively* there is no contest though.
The distinction is lost on non technical people unfortunately.


Lost on me, that's for sure - what is the distinction?

(I suspect you are describing the scenario where someone has been
listening to the music and says he prefers a particular player and
someone else who has been *\0easuring* stuff says 'No, you are
*wrong*!!'...??)
