I'm in need of a new CD player. I have a Unison Research Simply 8 valve amp and Living Voice speakers which I've been very happy with and am trying to match a CD player which handles acoustic classical and contemporary music in a warm intimate fashion. I've just about settled on an Ayre C-5xe player and wondered if anyone has any other recommendations I should look at. Problem is I've also discovered that amp technology has progressed just as far as digital player technology has and I'm now wondering whether I need a new pre-amp/amp set up to get the best out of the CD player!! The Ayre player sounds wonderful with the K-5xe pre-amp and V-5xe power amp!! Pleae don't anyone tell me I need new speakers as well!!
