Best Cd Player under $100,000

Hmmm...under $100K?...I wouldn't bother..everything is junk in that range...unless you have some of those new transuranium wafers that selectively absorb all bad things and only let the clean transparent signal eek through.

The $98,000 CDP-X is OK but its not in the same class as the big boys. The $150,000 CDP-Y and the $180,000 CDP-Z absolutely smoke it and blow it away. Both are highly recommended!

I assume that you meant to type $1000.00 and somehow the decimal got lost.

James, I like your suggestion --- it's hilarious!

Now there's someone who finally understands what I've been saying for a while now. You just can't get good digital playback for less than $80-90K these days. Maybe you could pick up a Burmester for $60K, have it turbo/truth/resurrection modded for another $25K, and that would still leave you $15K for the pair of IC's I'm making for you right now.
