I loved the 3.2 while I had a tube preamp, now I see it as being too bright for my tastes. I thought about getting one of MF's tube buffers, but I want to keep my rack simple with just a CD player and an intergrated. I have thought about the A5, alobg with a Cary 308T
Musical Fidelity A3.2 v. tubed CD players
Hey-
I have recently made some changes to my system & have moved from seperates to an integrated. I now have a McIntosh MA 6900 and a Musical Fidelity A3.2 CD Player. I used to have a Rogue 66 tube pre & Conrad Johnson MF 2500 amp. Now that I no longer have tubes in my system i've realized the 3.2 is a little too bright - dont get me wrong, its a wonderful & detailed player, just a little too harsh for my tastes. So now im beginning to ponder getting a tubed CD player, i've checked out the Jolida JD100 and that looks like a nice unit... My goal is to eliminate some brightness without losing much detail. Id like to saty under $2K and would prefer a unit with a sliver face. The new Cary 303/300 tube & SS outputs looks sooo tempting! Any suggestion on some warm CD players?

Tara Labs ic's
Mcintosh MA 6900 integrated
Luminous Audio Renaissance speaker cables
B&W N804 w/ Sound Anchors
i've swapped the Tara Labs ic's for some various Luminous Audio ic's and havent noticed too much difference between the two...
thanks for reading!
