Default 'European sound tuned'....??

I have a Marantz CD player which claims its UK sound tuned, and yet Philips
do a similar box and they do sound slightly different, but to me its just a
bit less strident and may have a bit fully bass. Exactly what all this means
i have no idea, it would be interesting to compare two of the same model of
all these so called tuned machines and see what they are actually up to. Are
they all suggesting that different people on a county basis have different
ears or what?

Denon PMA-510 from the local shop - which should do what I want without
too much fuss (heat). Waiting for it to be delivered as I speak - I wuz on

Anyway, I know nothing about them and thought I have a search on the 'net
to see what is being said about them and found this (not the store I'm
buying from):

Don't tell me it's not going to be as blamelessly *neutral* as the SS
Brigade would have us believe....??

Keith, it's called Marketing...on the US ones it has "American sound
tuned" on them, on the Japanese ones it has "Japanese sound tuned", on the

Would love to be proved wrong, and there really is a difference.
