While reading through the many threads on Vinyl vs. CD, I thought it might be interesting to see what CD transports/players Vinyl fans use when not listening to their analog rig?
EAR acute CD player with a tube output stage. Fairly? close to analogue, but not steering me away from my record collection. My analogue front end is considerably more evolved.
Actually I have two systems going with nearly 1,000 LP's, I also have a less sizeable CD colletion. My living room system has a Nottingham Analog Spacedec with a Meridian 508 CD player. My studio system has a REGA P25 player with an Arcam fmj36 CD player. (Although the Meridian is a much older player it still out performs the more recent Arcam)
AMR CD-77.1 has replaced the beloved BAT player, which has now moved to my home office rig. For those who love LPs, the AMR is a must-hear in my opinion.
as I've already wrote in the TJ's thread "Reference DACS: An overall perspective" and in the TJ's review "Concert Fidelity DAC-040, I'm using the Métronome Technologie Kalista Référence as drive and the Concert Fidelity Tube DAC-040 as converter; in my opinion and for my personal experience this combo sounds even better than a high level analog front end system.
