CJ 17ls vs CJ 16ls Mk II


In have the opportunity to upgrade from 17ls to 16ls mk II for $3000.00. Looking for opinions on how much of an improvement to expect for the additional money. I have Thiel 3.6's, audioquest cables, CJ MF2500 amp and phillips CD player. Listen mostly to classical and some jazz.

Thanks

Chuck--
Agree with posts suggesting CD player upgrade. While your Philips "seems to do such a great job," I suggest you haven't heard what your system is capable of unless you audition players of the same quality as the rest of your components.

BTW, excellent choice of preamps. Good listening!
In the $5K range, you might consider used Levinson, Wadia, Accuphase, etc., all of which are excellent performers and all of which can be purchased for $5K or less here on AudioGon. There are new one-box players, both Red Book and upsamplers, that may be found at this price point with a bit of negotiation.
