What cd for $1000 is best for this system?

My friend has the following system and has asked me for recommendations for cd player for $1K. Used at $1K is what I'm asking about. If you feel that he should spend less given his equipment, that's good. I have been told that the cornerhorns can have the crossovers upgraded and that improves them a lot. Is that true and what does it cost?

What system, Bill?

TRL is said to be excellent for the $250 Sony CDP (search the threads for the model #) + a mod cost of $550. APL mods a Marantz for $1100 total. I think you're going to get most out of the modded players.

If you're speaking of Klipschorn crossovers, advise your friend to purchase these. They were the single biggest upgrade we've yet made to our system, particularly when using the low wattage amps.

Und so...what's his system?

Absolutely, tell your friend to get the crossovers. I can't exaggerate the difference they made. And yes, Clio9, it was the Sony 595 I'd read about. Sounds like there are a lot of happy owners of that modded machine.
Good luck,
Howard
