What is the best redbook CD player for 6K to 8K?

I am looking for the best redbook CD player for 6K to 8K that will project a 3 dimensional hologram-like sound image. I am considering the Mark Levinson 390S CD player. I am open for suggestions concerning comparisons between this and other CD players of equal or better sound quality. Universal players are out of the running since I own only redbook CDs. The fickle finger of fate has not made up it's mind about the next generation of media technology. So until then I will be patient and enjoy what I have.

Investing in "heavy expensive" CD players right now is like investing in an tape deck when CD's were new.

Jc51373 - We understand your affection for the brick and related products. Certainly something that I think I'd like to check out.

But for now...I am even more hugely satisfied with my Upgrade Company DV-50. I have had an EMM CDSA-SE here for more than a week. The EMM is a very nice player indeed, but I like my TUC DV-50 much better. I am most pleasantly surprised.

Tape decks made in 1980 were better built, better sounding and more beautiful than the CD players made at that time.

27 years later, many of those tape decks are collectible.

trust your ears and answer the question for yourself. it's a matter of trial and error. listen to as many players as possible and buy what you like. the opinions as to what is "best" cannot be extrapolated onto another person. you have a unique set of ears, brain and preferences.
