Crazy to buy a 17 year old CD Player?


My ARC CD2 just died...I think the laser finally gave up the ghost.  Any how I've got thousands of red book CDs in my library and need a replacement player.  I'm thinking an ARC CD 3MKII or the Mark Levinson 390S.  Am I crazy to be thinking this?  Got a budget of around $2000.00.  My system, though dated, is made up of higher end stuff: ARC 25 pre amp, ARC VT 150 mono amps, VPI TNT IV, Wilson Witts, all running through Transparent Reference (Balanced).

Go back to 1983. "Would it be crazy to buy another high end turntable my Garrard just died? CDs will be taking over anyway". Well album spinning is still going on and turntables are as popular as ever to the young and the old alike.
I don't think CD players will go away. I would get another High quality CDC player or transport like a Rega apollo or even Oppo with a digital out for upgrading DACs as you choose. My other choice is to rip all my cds into a Bluesound Vault 2, which also has a digital out for upgrading your DAC. With the BS choice you can get into streaming, even try HQA, but still enjoy your CDs on flac or HQ file format.

 For a solid cd player look for an A.D.S CD3 or CD4, in the 80's  a CD3 was 2k, they are bullet proof having been developed by BRAUN. For info call Cosmophonic Sound in NYC they provide  service and have a great rep.
