I have been acquiring CD players over the last few months. I like CDs. I don't see myself ever embracing vinyl as my preferred listening source and I can't mentally wrap my head around converting my music over to a server system. Though, I really like how turntables look.
I have been using a Rega Apollo for 6 years or so now. I have been happy with the Rega. I also have a Musical Fidelity CD PRE 24, which is 9 years old. I half fear that the cd players will start biting the dust.
I read a review about the XTZ CD 100/ 11 in HIFI World (July issue). The reviewer couldn't praise the cd player enough. He was definitely implying that it could be a giant killer.
So, I pulled the trigger and purchased one for about $600. I dealt directly with Olle Eliasson, XTZ' owner. I have been using the player for about a week now and am very impressed.
In the new weeks, I will be posting my impressions about the XTZ cd player, as well as the player by Emotiva.
