I used to have a CAL (Calif. Audio Labs) player in the
1990's and really liked it. I thought it was as good as the Meridian 508.24 I replaced it with in 1998. There are a few CAL player and separates for sale on Audiogon now.
I had an Icon Mark II player (later with a Powerboss upgrade). It was very easy on the ears with no hash, ringing, hardness or glare. The soundstage was a bit flat but the tonality was very refined.
