I wonder how the Musical Fidelity A308CR stack up to the CX-7. The MF should be below your budget also,
Arcam FMJ-33 vs. Ayre CX-7
I am looking into buying one of these cd players. I have a 845 based SET integrated and Living Voice OBX-R2 speakers. All cables are chord signature. Thanks for any help. Also if there are any other suggestions in this price range (about 1500-1800 used)I'd love to hear about them.
