Re: CD players in the 1K range. You might want to check out the Denon DCD-1650AR with variable outputs and volume control. Hell of a deck for the money. Managed to earn a class B rating in the three previous Stereophile Recommended Components lists. I've been pleased with this unit. The sound really opens up with a good interconnect such as an entry level Siltech. The DCD-1650 was retailing for about $1,000.00 when I bought it a year ago. By Chuck
