Strength:
Lovely, accurate sound
Weakness:
No random selector on unit Many good reviews here and I agree. Only one thing to add. If you like air between instruments and no nasty digititis on decent disks, this is your machine. The only other unit I heard as good (perhaps better) was Wadia $6000 player. Worth $4500 more? Stupid question. Similar Products Used: Rotel 971, Marantz 67SE, others |

Strength:
Neutrality; great detail and soundstaging. A lot of performance for the money.
Weakness:
None. Out of the Box the Maestro is a bit thin sounding with very little bottom end. After having it on for a couple days and running the Purist Audio System Enhancer break-in disc 3 times, I was absolutely amazed at the sonic transformation. The unit just blossomed with a much fuller and detailed midrange, airy highs and deep bottom end with great impact. This is a great CD player and competes easily with units I've heard costing 2-3 times as much. My hat is off to designer Marco Manunta for creating such a wonderful CD player.
