Here's another opinion. I've owned a fair amount of B&K stuff, which is pretty good but not nearly at the level of some of the other stuff that's been mentioned here. Somebody mentioned a CJ - something like a PV12 can be had for well under $1000 used, and can really give you a boost.
I don't know much about that CDP, but the Jolida gets good reviews from almost all quarters.
