Good Budget CD and integrated????

Check out integrateds from Creek, Rega or Roksan and mathcing CD players... great British HiFi values that might fit your ticket.
Alternatively, you could also check out Linn Classik, an itegrated CD, Tuner and amp that has received very good reviews.

NAD L73 DVD. I have a NAD 4155 Tuner that is more than 20 years old and I listen to it almost daily. Some people complain about reliabilty issues, ergo...caveat emptor. Also, Arcam has an integrated product you may find interesting. It is called the "Solo."

Cheers + good luck.

CONSONANCE...by Opera Audio

I will second the Roksan Kandy III integrated. It has two pre amp outs for the sub. Very well built also. Good luck.

I own an Audio Refinement Complete integrated amp and a Music Hall CD-25 player with upgraded opamps. The combination is very, very nice and could be had used for less than your budget.

Another alternative I can recommend from personal experience would be a Rotel integrated, like an RA-1050, RA-1060 or RA-02 with a Rotel CD player like the RCD-1070, RCD-1072 or RCD-02. In my experience both Rotel and NAD are a little better built than Cambridge Audio and my preference is for the Rotel equipment but any of those three will be a good start for your friend.

The Linn Classik would also be a very nice solution in that price range. I've helped two different friends buy one and both have been absolutely thrilled with theirs. It's a very high-quality piece of equipment that will last for years.
