I think your best value would be the adcom 750. Those go for around 700-750 used. Modern design, under a year old, an d the support HDCD. I thought the adcom sounded great. I also agree on the older Sony's. Good sound, and outstanding build quality. Check out some of the top shelf denon's as well. I haven't heard the rotel or the rega.
Best CD Player for under $750?
What is the best value in a cd player for under $750? Used/Demo is OK. I have been looking at the Rega Planet, Ah! Tube 99 with all of the mods, Musical Fidelity's, Arcam's, Rotel's, etc. etc. etc. My associated equipment is Rotel 995 preamp, Rotel RB 991 amp, B&W 603 S2 speakers and B&W ASW2000 sub, MIT Terminator 2 cables and interconnects. HELP!
