Best CD Player for 800-1500 Used

my recommendation is the Conrad Johnson DV-2B.
I bought one from a fellow Audiogoner for $1,000. It originally retailed around $2,500. I'm very pleased with
it's performance. I should mention that the DV-2B is tube based.

Dopogue,

Have you heard the CJ DV-2B? I think it exhibits a wonderfully warm analogue sound. It replaced an
older Rotel CD player which was very good as well.
Perhaps, your taste leans toward a more digital sound.
I just wanted to make that clarification. BTW, I'm running
the CJ DV-2B through a fully modded Cayin TA-30 and
a pair of GMA Europas. I quite like it!

Hello Grannyring,

Thanks for the thumbs up on my system. It means alot given your years of audio experience. Thanks for turning me on to the GMA Europas. You were'nt kidding! I'm constantly blown away (a nice thing) when I put a cd or lp on. Although, they are not the last word in high end monitors, they certainly take the prize for being the
most accessible entry into high end audio. Thank you
Roy, and ,thank you Bill!

Great to hear from you,
Michael

The DV-2B is the single box unit.
I have to confess that I have'nt had the pleasure of
hearing the Ack DAck 2.0. I'm sure that I'm missing out,
but, given the budget constraints I've worked within, I'm
more than satisfied with the system I've put together
over the past couple of years. I owe a huge debt to the
Audiogon community. Without this wonderful resource,
I'm sure that I would have made some serious and costly blunders along the way. My hats off to everyone
within the Audiogon community.
