A used Cary 303/100 is a great piece for right around 1000. It will beat the pants off every other CDP mentioned above with the exception of maybe the Sony. It's a great value and even has HDCD decoding. Good luck.
looking for an appropriate cd for my system
I am in the process of looking to upgrade my cd player to match the rest of my system. My system consists of:
Odyssey Stratos Amp
Odyssey Tempest Preamp
Paradigm Studio 80's v2
Monster Power ht2600
Groneberg Cabling(interconnects/speakerwire)
Cal audio DX-1
I am looking to spend no more than about $900. I listen to a lot of classic and modern rock and Jazz/fusion. I do not need that much detail in the player but rather a warmer, slightly laid back sound. I am currently considering the SONY CD-555es superaudio cd player, Rotel 1070, an Arcam cd 72t, or a Denon CD-1650sr (asian version with the 24bit chip). I am also considering a used classe cdp.3.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
thanks!
