I would also consider a SCD-333 Sony. It would be about $800 mail order new with warranty. Check out www.oade.com. I believe that you not only would have superior CD play to what you are considering, but you would have SACD capability.
Rega Planet vs Cal Audio Labs Icon MK II
I'm thinking about upgrading my CD player (Cambridge D300) and have a choice between these two used players. Both have been discontinued and are/were fine CD players. The Planet would be in the area of $500 and Icon MK II around $750. I'm an old country boy - I don't know a lot about high end audio, but am picking things up quickly with your help. Once again - Thanks in advance! Ken
