hi! ok here is the system i will get ( only have om-10 for now )
Classe CAV-75 or bryston sb4 *2 .. Mirage OM-9 to replace om-10 in front and put the OM-10 in the back ..
i plan to get a bryston Sp1 pre/proc if money is there later on and i can get a good deal ..or maybe even classe SP30
this system will mainly be used for stereo CD musci at ~90% of time..and the rest for DTS- DVD and games ..
SO i need to get a good cd player to use with my current WOW AKAI 1970 receiver :p hehe and my OM-10 i do not wish to spend 1000$USD on a cd player, so i'm really ocnsidering to get a used player.. but i want it to be a good player as it will be part of my system later on :) ..
i was considering a nakamichi MB-10 or MB-8 ..cause it's pretty cheap..and almost everybody told me that the sound is great..
but i do not think it seriously would be up to the point that it could be used with the kinda PRE and AMPS i am planning to get .. mmy listening room now is quite small..but i wanna keep this equipment for later on when i'll buy my condo and have a larger living room to listen to music ..
what would be a good CD player investment ?? and how much should i be paying for it!
The Musical Fidelity A3 cd that Argent mentioned is really nice. You might find it used for around $750 (its $995 new), but they very few are resold. Upscale audio is selling all the MF gear these days.
!!!!! wow so many brands and different players.. how can u guys know wich are the best for thr $$$ ? u tested them all ? ahah ;p i have to find a good place for stereo stuff all the places around here only sells HT stuff never stereo pre amp or good cd players..only dvds and receivers :p i wanna test things more..
Doug28450 : i think u are right i'm gonna try and test all the players that u guys recommended me :)
but i have one question..more ...technical!
WHAT MAKES A CD PLAYER GOOD ? what are the prerequisites ? the things that it must do and have ... and wich brands to stay away from ?
Hey! i have an idea.. if i get the nakamichi MB-8 wich is 5 discs with a digital output ... could i use an external DAC later on ?then it would bypass the internal dac of the naka?? so i could get a low high-end DAC and have super sound with the NAK ??
cause neway all that system i wanna get i dont' have now.. and i'm currently playing CD's from my computerwith and old AKAI 1970 receiver wich sounds warm but make some funky noises in the sound .. so i need a better cd player now .. and i ain't rich for now :)
that's the only reason i was considering the NAKA at 150$
so please tell me..will it sound good with and external DAC later on ?? and how much are great low high-end DAC's ?
