The best CD Player for the money

Jeez, this post is worn out, does anyone really believe people utilize this info to make a decision on a player? Maybe they did 4 years ago, yes 4 years ago when it started, but certainly not now!

No doubt in my mind. The Musical Fidelity X-Ray is a great machine at a really good price. Looks and sounds very satisfying indeed.
Try pairing it with the X-10v3 tube buffer and X-PSU (power supply) and I think you'll be even more delighted.
I have all three and I am exceptionally pleased.

The next player I purchase is the best for my money.

Sammie,
Maybe he is still choosing!! ;)

$10000 can buy a hell of a unit but it would have to been supported by more "hell of a unit"-units in order for it to be worth it, right?(dac/amps/speakers/cables, etc.)
And what sounds good to you , where you play it, etc., is what counts. So go to your sources for cd players and a good store will let you borrow the unit for home field listening and even direct comparisons with other players or even maybe some of your buddies' players. l assume you've got the rest of your system but no cd player.
l went through tons of players and all were tested at home but l wasn't prepared to pay $3000 and plus for a transport and seperate dac set-up, nor was l going to go by store listening. l ended up with a Denon DCD 1560 that compared better than alot of "high end" names and even Denon's top end unit---the 1560 worked well with what l had.(Tannoy/Onkyo/Teac,Preose,etc.)
Good luck, Lilfish
