WOW! That stirred things up a bit!! So there we have it,Cd players all
sound the same,as do amplifiers.Cables make no difference but speakers

No stirring really. That's just the common opinion of people who work
with audio as opposed to audiophile hobbyists. Source quality matters
(and I mean the recording, not what plays it.) Speaker choice and
placement matters. Everything else needs to be competent, and mostly
is these days.
