Mid Fi Cd Player with the Most Bass

Denon 1650.Listen to one if possible.I might have one for sale.

I've had an Adcom GCD750, matched with a Krell 300i and Aerial Acoustic 6s. It retails for $1250 and is a great deal at that price. I compared it to a number of other sub $2000 cd players and found it to be the best. It's quiet with good low level detail and bass. It can be bright in some systems, but I haven't heard a cd player that is'nt. It is HDCD compatible and has balanced inputs. Definately worth checking out. Another less expensive player that might be a good choice is tha Arcam Alpha 7SE.

I too have an original Cal Icon which I had upgraded to the Power Boss and the difference is amazing. The difference between the stock unit and the upgrade are not even in the same league. Plus you get HDCD, depending on how old your unit is you might have to get the laser and possibly the draw mechanism replace I know I did, that will cost you a few extra bucks but at this point I have a player that will compete with the best of them, and you don't have to rush into anything until they figure out what the next format will be (DVD or SAD). By the way the bass is way improved over the stock unit and will hold its own with far more costly players. Best-Gary
