I thank you for your suggestion but with a fixed income, the RP280F's are a little out of my budget right now. What I did notice yesterday while watching a Blu Ray movie is that there was no brightness, at least not like I experience with music CDs. Same goes with TV viewing. Just hear the nice detail and no harshness. My CD player certainly isn't state of the art. It's an old Sony recorder/player I specifically bought to transfer about 500 45rpm records to CD's. I was a wedding/party DJ many years ago and many of the tunes I had cannot be found, especially the ones by the one song wonders. Granted, not the best quality coming from 45's but good enough for background party music.
