If you are looking for a straight CD transport, I would suggest the Audiolab 7000CDT which is in your budget new, or possibly the 9000CDT on the used market?
Cheers
Help picking a CD player
I have been shopping for a new or used CD player that is a step or two above the standard retail offerings. I’ve already had my share of Sony ES, Pioneer Elite, Yamaha, and lower end Luxman. My favorite for sound was a Nakamichi but it kept having issues.
my search has narrowed to 4 interesting options under $1000 (Canadian), delivered to my door.
1. Used - April Music Stello CDA 500
2. Used - Roksan K3 CD DI
3. New - Creek Audio 4040
4 New - SMSL PL200 T
I would appreciate the input of the collective genius that is Audiogon!
Fantastic unit. Many great reviews: https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lisbfhi9-onkyo-c-7030-cd-sacd-players |
