If your going CD only it will be tough to beat an Arcam FMJ 23 or Arcam FMJ 33, both or which show up here time to time in the $1,000 range. I considered a universal as well but with over 400 CD's already owned went with the stand alone as NO universal in the $2,000 & under range came within shouting distance of the Arcam. Ultimately have ended up with the Ayre CX-7, but could happily live with either of the two Arcam units mentioned above. Good Luck!
decent CD/SACD/DVD-A Player for 2 channel Audio on
I'm looking for a CD/SACD/DVD-A player that will be used for audio only. I predominantly listed to CD's but I do have a small and growing collection of 2 channel SACD and DVD-A discs. I'm looking for a player that has excellent CD capabilities as well as DVD-A and SACD. I'm not at all concerned about video quality. I'm running this through a NAD 320BEE Integrated AMP (as a pre) and biwired/amped through a pair of ATI 602's. Monitors are PMC TB2+ (and soon to me a matching PMC sub, just not sure which one yet). I like very neutral sounding music with an emphasis on vocals and would like the player to support this. Price range I'm looking at would be approx 1K USD. I'm open to used if anyone has anything available.
You're advice is appreciated.
