Best CD for $1000

Recently a neighbor of mine bought the Denon 370 CD Player. It has the HDCD chip in it,the 20 bit version.While this is not a high end product,it impressed me enough to go out and buy one.Having been in this hobby since 1957 and owned all sorts of various gear in the past 43 years. I have never really embraced the CD format.Prefering to stay with vinyl. Although I did own a first generation machine I never used that much.Now because of this Denon 370 listening to CD again,and not bitching that much. Also at its price and performance point I dont know of anything that comes close. Sounds as good as my friends Rega Planet.

Try the Rega Planet. Only 800 smackers and a bargain!!

I agree with Rarerecs, look the Rega Planet.

Mark, I bought a Marantz CD6000OSE new for $500.00. This was a great improvement over my old Sony classic CDP 302. Warmth and imagery is greatly improved. Had it for about 3 months now. Over time the sound has gotten better. In addition, the thing plays CD-R and CD-RWs. Very happy so far. Might be something to check out. Good luck.
