I recently replaced a Sony XA7 CD player with a Levinson 37 transport. Until I heard the ML 37, I didn't realize that a transport could make that much difference. The Sony is good, but the ML 37 is definitely a step up. It has increased clarity and detail without being etched or analytical, and with a bit deeper more articulate bass; upper mids and low treble are very natural. Paired with the ML 360S DAC, the two made a dramatic improvement in my stereo system-- overall a smooth, natural, live presentation. Happy Listening. Craig.
Best ever made & sounding CD transport ?
I owned many different CD transports over the last 11 years. From the Krells, Levinsons, and Wadia to the Japanese makes of Phillips, Sonys and Denon. All very nice and had their strengths. The prices ranged from $1,000 to $4200, (preowned of course) that I paid. Now recently I had purchased a mint preowned Pioneer PD-S 95 Elite Transport for $1300, and I was simply blown away with the results. This machine uses their pattened stable platter mechanism, where the CD is inserted upside down. All I can say this unit is and will be a fixture in my system til the CDs stop spinning. What other great CD transports are out their on the preowned market that you recently purchased?? And compare it to your previous CD transports that you either spent too much money or generally disappointed with because your $149 Fisher with digital output sounded better.
