Best Redbood CD Player Used/New under $7K

Try to audition the Audio Aero Capitole Mark II. It has an analog (tube) volumn control and the latest version also has an analog passthru so that you can dispense with the pre altogether, unless you still likevinyl.

If you do a search hereabouts on audio aero you will find lots of praise for this CD player. I own one and I am very happy with it.

Consider the Audio Aero Cap in that range, as well.

Dennon 2900 with exemplar mod .... save a bunch of money and get sacd, dvd, dvda as an extra. It has just excellent redbook capabilities as well as SACD...that's all I use it for but I hear it is a darn good dvd palyer as well. (I own this unit as well as the Meitner Dcc2/trans and have owned Burmester 979/980, AA cap II, Emc, spectral 3000se/AN3.1x sig...I have no direct experience with the Wadia or Metronome)

WADIA 861 or even better 860 with the GNS upgrade.

I-book G4 .
