Best Tube CDP for $2000 Budget
Want to try a tube CDP in my system, have always owned solid state and currently have Rega Saturn and Meridian G08.
Looking for that smooth relaxed sound that minimizes any faults/digital hardness in average recordings while still preserving decent detail. I know this is the paradox of an audiophile, but I want to relax and feel the music and not worry about maximum detail presentation.
Am looking at Raysonic CD 128 and Cayin CD 17T, can anyone comment on these or have any other favorites?
Also please compare them to other CDPs you have heard, thanks.
