Telarc discs to me always sounded ho-hum: generally dynamic given
the limitations of the vinyl, lacking ambience, and a bit edgy.
CDs playing the re-formatted Telarc versions sounded even worse for
whatever reasons.

But there is hope! I may (or may not) have mentioned that digital
master tapes sound different from CD versions -- even using the same
format.  I have it on good authority that these machines used in
transferring the tape to the CD are being modified to reflect more
accurately the quality of the master tape.

Personally, the only unit I've heard so far that sounds "natural,"
and I use the word loosely, is the Luxman.  None that I have ever
heard reproduce a wide soundstage regardless of source material.
Does anyone know if Lux uses multiplexing?  Oversampling?  Now,
whether multiplexing will become more noticeable when the software
gets better remains to be seen (heard?).
