I recently passed up a super sweet deal on one of these ProJect RM-9 TT's
I could have gotten it for $875, I kick myself now everytime I think about it.

as I already said, that's your opinion and taste. Mine is : - my old LP12 beats my MDA 1000 by a good margin. The MDA was a bit better on my ESL pannels. But with the EB1i and their incredible dynamics, the MDA is smoked by the "old" LP12 ! Maybe your feeling is related to a speakers synergy with CD and not vinyl. - the LP12 SE is far better than any CD playback. It beats of course the MDA 1000 / MCD1000 and it beats also the Unidisk 1.1 considered by Stereophile one of the best CD palyers ever made. My best friend has both and he does not listen to cd's anymore. The sound of the LP12SE is so amazing, that he bought more than 500 LP's within 6 months !! - The LP12SE is the only turntable I know which could make me spend 15000 euros, the price of a MINI ONE 75 HP !

suspended designs have a common sound. It could be Thorens, Audio Note, Linn, Ariston, Systemdeck.... we always find warmth and smoothness and a particular texture. Even the background noise has a particular flavor. I never noticed that non suspended designs had quite a "cd sound" but that's a very interesting note. I will pay attention to that when I will listen closely to the Clearaudio Champion level II and the Project Xtension.

Dan, I listened to that one at the last high end meeting in Paris. Don't remember what cartridge was used. It is truly a great sounding TT. I will go for a private audition in the next weeks before the Hold-up I would have to make for the LP12 SE !

Jérôme.......When you privately audition the Pro-Ject X-tension turntable be sure and let us hear about it. I am interested in your opinion of the turntable. Let us know if it has the carbon fiber Evolution 9" or 12" arm installed, or the Ortofon arm. I am also curious about the magnetic suspension in the adjustable feet. I am looking forward to more information on this turntable.

Yes, this thread is great ! "it was hard-edged and a bit "flat" " : These are the exact terms I use when I compare CD to vinyl. Cds are more "flat".
