Dedicated CD player or multi-plr for 90 music ?

Mainlymusicman,

Agreed. A CD player is very important...without it you would not have sound....but it stops there...the beauty of digital and SS circuits is that it is the great equalizer...you should not have to spend a fortune to have a good CD player.

I completely agree with you. I would not spend $5K on a CD player. Sure there will be some improvements versus a $500 player....but will they be audible?

Your NAD may already be good enough...perhaps you could do some listening tests before you buy....bring your player to a store and compare to a higher end one.

I have a devil of difficulty to hear any differences at all between different CD players...

thanks alot Shadorne, maybe ill do that. not sure if the salesman will like it though.

Mainlymusicman,

If they have something markedly better then surely they should not mind comparing.

....just watch out for the volume level trick...louder almost always sounds more impressive (except at extremely high levels when it causes intermodulation distortion in the inner ear)
