Re: Creek are not 'warm' sounding CD Players at all. Cool side of neutral if anything. (NT)

Hi Indycar,
I think you misunderstood Nathan's comment or you did not read his post about the Creek. He bought a CD50MkII from me. Before that, he has evaluated a lot of competitors including the Rega. I think it took him 2 years to decide on the Creek, not an impulse buy. However, there is really no definition of 'warm' or 'cool'. I would say the Creek players are one of the most neutral player. I could be warm when compares to a lot of players out there. However, Nathan is using a Monarchy M24 Dac. If he uses the Monarchy as reference, the CD indeed is on the 'cool' side of neutral. However, if I use the Creek (which has similar tonal balance as the BlueNote Stibbert non-tube) as reference, I would say the Monarchy is on the warm side of neutral. It really comes down to the reference point and what you compare to.
