Looking for CD Player with good quality volume control for second system. Will probably buy used, but looking at list price players up to $2000. Prefer a player from past 5 years or so...Thanks
Do you own a laptop? Try ripping your CDs to hard drive and attenuating in the digital domain with a high quality digital volume control - either in a dac or playback software such as foobar or jriver.
I do have a good homemade (not by me) passive pre...looks like that will be the way to go...and yes, for this project, CD only, not computer or streaming...
I recently purchased a Mark Levinson 39L as a "temporary" replacement for a CDP that was fried during Hurricane Ida. The 39L was not manufactured within the last 5 years; it cost 2500usd, pre-owned; and it only plays redbook CDs. It fronts a 300b SET that drives a pair Zu Def 4s. It is built like a tank and has a full-function digital pre-amp. I did not expect a lot, but have been blown away.
