I just sold my BCD-3 and purchased a used T+A player, which is a tube spinner. My previous players were a Cambridge Audio, then moved tp a Marantz SA 11-1, then an Esoteric X03-SE. I was looking at the Ayon CD-10, or the Project box when this T+A unit caught my eye. This is simply the best CD sound I have ever had. It is probably the best purchase I have made and could not be happier with it! I am not sure if it is the tubes, but perhaps the Ayon should be given consideration. My main listening is Prog, power,symphonic rock/metal, blues, acoustic..
