JD100 - can I do better under $2K


Using RCA 5751 NOS in the Jolida. While the sound is excellent, I wonder if I could get a *little* more detail/resolution out of a different player. Of course, detail can be not such a good thing, so the cdp has to get the other things right too. I would like to come closer to the analog sound, which the JD IMO is pretty good at (but I also believe only analog sounds like analog, still, the goal is to approach it).

Used ok if a reliable brand/model.

The Music Hall MMF25 CD player is superior to me(at $400 less), as is the MF A3 lineage or the Carys of this pricerange.

And, the Granite Audio 650 is the best I have come across at under $2000.

If you are willing to buy used, look into the Electrocompaniet, better Carys, or the Granite 657.
