 Welcome to the world of CD players.  Most of them can sound somewhat cold and
disembodied. I don't know of any CD player, short of an outboard D/A converter,
that could be really hitting LP's where they hurt. The Adcom could also be a bit
on the cold side when coupled with the Spica Speakers. I've auditioned that
particular combination and Adcom's don't mate well with Spicas.. A Tube amp or
the  Muse Model One Hundred would be a better match for a Spica.
