California Audio CL-2500cd player Vs the Icon MKII


Hi friends,

Does anybody know if the sound quality is better on the Cal Audio 2500 or the Cal Audio MKII, I saw some advertised here and want to make a good choice!

I would like a Cal because I think it would work nice with my Marantz 2325 Receiver and Snell EIII's---
Or should I not get the Cal Audio at all!

Thank you for your help!
Bob

I had the Icon MKII, and have considered getting another used. But I have enough players, so.....The Icon was noticably putting out more detail than the player it replaced. Then came the idea of DAC's, which lead to the idea of a dedicated transport. So the Icon got swapped. I remember hearing the 2500, and being impressed. I was also disappointed when Cal Audio went out of business. At the prices today, either would seem to be a good deal.
