Can't agree with the Onkyo recommendation. Sonically, yes, it is good. But it skips, doesn't read, discs that other machines have zero problems with, and not nearly as fool-proof as others I've had including a 1990's era CAL Icon player with 'older' technology.
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!
