I also listened to both of these units along with Arcam D72 and Rotel RCD-1070. I decided on the Rotel. To me it sounded as good if not better than the Arcam units and was nearly $300 cheaper. Definately give the Rotel a listen. Hope this is useful.
Music Hall CD-25 -VS- Musical Fidelity cd player
While I am in the search for a "newer" cd player that will be replacing my Onkyo DX-C380, I have narrowed it down to these last two : Music Hall CD-25 AND The Music Fidelity A3CD player. While the Onkyo doesnt have all the latest stuff inside, it has been a very good player.
While reading many reviews done by audio critics , on various players, the person doing the review would say that brand xxx seemed to have missed the detail that brand yyy did ( but brand yyy) costs thousands more. This I would think wouldnt matter or come into play because the Onkyo is such an older player. Almost anything I replace it with should be an improvement. Right or Wrong??
If anybody has listened to either ones of these players, information would be greatly appreciated.
Not sure if you need this information but here it is anyway:
System consists of: 1 1/2 wpc tube amp ( for high side)
tube preamp
100 wpc hybrid amp ( low side)
Klipsch KLF-30'S ( Bi-amped)
Music ranges from female vocals, swing ( big band), Tool, Godsmack etc...
Thanks all who respond in advance.
