A CD platyer that is s sonic match to an LP12?


I am looking for a CD player that would have a similar degree of pace, rhythm, dynamics to my Linn LP12. The LP12 has an Ekos arm, Arkiv B pickup, circus, trampolin, Lingo, etc. I used to have a 508.24, which was great but it did not quite have the low end bloom I get out of LP. An old CAL I used to have did have the enveloping low end, but in every other way, the 508.24 was superior What's the closest I can get in the CD universe? Anyone out there with a similar analog set up using any one of the following: Bryston BCD-1; Ayre CX7e; Cambridge 840; Rega? Naim ?; Meridian G08? All suggestions greatly appreciated! Associated equip is a Pass Aleph Ono phono pre; Rogue Tempest II Magnum int amp; Revel F30's, and Mag Dyn MD100 tuner. I am looking for something dynamic, transparent, and not the price of a decent used car

I liked the cd-7 as well pretty close to my modded sony on redbook......however..........doesn't do SACD not sure that is important to you......not heard the Bryston
My Arcam FMJ CD23T has a very similar sonic signature to my Linn LP12/Ittok IV/Lingo. Can be had for less than 1K these days. For redbook it's one of the best!
To get what you want for under 2K is probably not going to happen. However, the Linn Ikemi will get you close for around $1500-$1650 and there're two on the Gon right now.
The Arcam 23T mentioned above is very good also but doesn't have balanced capability, which is why I got rid of mine. If it had balanced capability, it would get you close as well but the Audio Research Cd-3 mkII will get you there for around $2500-$2700. Don't fool with the Ayre Cx7e, it is too lean and thin sounding and the bass would not be what you would want IMHO.
Sorry you are probably not going to get a ref cd-7 for anywhere near 2 grand it was a 10K player when new.
I agree with eee3, I have a LP12 and had an Ikemi it is a very good player and 2000 is the most you should pay for a good used one.
