Most Analogue-like sounding Player 2k or less



I often see posts looking for the "best" 1 piece player
for 2k or less. I would like to find that special player
that sounds the most analogue as in "like a top shelf
Turntable". Very dynamic and rich but no harshness in
the highs. What's the consensus on this one? Based only
on reading done here, the Meridian, Resolution Audio CD50,
and Rega Planet come to mind. What do you all think? Remember 2k or less..

2. Norh CD-1 tube output stage cd player. $799 shipped from Thailand. www.norh.com
