Poland is famed for its rich history of classical music. Hence it was a fitting venue to audition the CD-777. Poland’s Audio and Video wrote, “Values of spatial and naturalness of communication make it easy to migrate you to the ambience of the concert hall, especially in that this AMR machine does not lack dynamics.” The CD-777 was award Category A; 5 out of 5 stars which is now the expectation by our customers.
It seems that fellow reviewers on the other side of the world are also becoming enamoured with the musical nature of AMR products.
Appreciating and understanding the subtle approach of AMR and its product design, Audio magazine from Korea keenly observed, “Nevertheless, the CD-777 seems to be the result of quite extensive technological research and know-how.”
Hot on the heels of reporting positive findings with the AMR Gold Music Fuses, Audio magazine commented, “It is clear to me: a hero is born. The CD-777 is a product that will say once and for all something truly definitive, settling all the ongoing debates in the CD-player market, which is crowded, volatile, and, for many manufacturers, miserable to be in…it is heaven brought down on earth.”
We would like to thank Mr Kim and his team at Sonoris (AMR: Korea) for arranging such a pleasant, thorough and enjoyable review of the CD-777.

CD-777: HiFi Critic – Recommended Component Mr Martin Colloms concluded of the CD-777, “The designers have clearly done their homework, and this well finished and clever player offers high performance with very good versatility and compatibility…I liked it a lot and find it easy to recommend.”
Mr Jo Mullers, one of the most well-respected and experienced audio reviewers in the Netherlands fell in love with the CD-777 and AM-777 combination. We found this review in ‘Music Emotion’ to be suitably apt given this is the AMR DNA.
