I am very pleased with the Music Hall MMF 25 CD Player. I bought mine way back in late February and have been VERY happy with it. I had listened to the Camdridge players and the Rega Planet (Current version) and liked the Music Hall as the best of the lot.
I am using it with McIntosh electronics and Thiel 3.5 speakers and it sounds just great. I am also using Transparent MusicLink Plus interconnects and recently added a Bright Star Isolation Platform - and the sound is very smooth, yet detailed and dynamic. I'm not sure if the Bright Star made any real difference - but I KNOW than moving up from MusicLink to MusicLink PLus ICs made an audible difference.
For the price point, the Music Hall is hard to beat. Nice build quality - better than the Cambridge units in my opinion - and certainly equal to the Rega Planet. By the way, the Planet is a top loader - so unless you want to give up top shelf space in your rack for a CD player - it might not be the best choice.
