I really don't care about the loading mechanism. I am in it for it's sonic qualities. Only one can imagine how the CD would sound like. My point is that Bryston cannot reinvent the wheel. @$2-3K USD pricepoint, I think Bryston can make a really good sounding CD Player. Could it be sonically accurate, 3Dimensional, smooth, Analog, palpable or natural sounding? It could also sound like Arcam, Sony or Denon player with a nice Bryston case.
