Single box unit to pair w/ Plinius , Totem?
After a long hiatus from my cd player search, I am now
looking again, with several players under consideration.
They would be paired with an 8200 Plinius, Totem Forests, and AZ cables. Unfortunately, there are no dealers close by for any of these, so I haven't had the benefit of a good listen:
Ayre cx-7
Wadia 301/302
Meridian 588
BAT
Classe CDP 10
Jolida
Resolution Audio
I'm trying to decide between solid state vs tubed. Also,
a couple of the units (R.A. & Wadia) have a volume control, which I'm not certain I'd use. Any idea what that adds to a unit's cost? Thanks, Craig
