@jafant Would u say that the best that u heard from those is the CD9 ? And why ? Because of the tubes ?
Upgrading cd player
I thinking about upgrading my Rega Isis CDP. I’m thinking about the Audio Research Ref 9se or the McIntosh MCD1200. Can anyone give me any thoughts / options on this ? Also I heard that Audio Research stopped production on the Ref 9se due to not being able to get the lasers anymore / that Phillips stopped making them ? I would also rather stick to a one box unit than separates. Ty. Also if anyone else can recommend anything also I would appreciate it. My budget is up at about 12k

@jafant TY. That was a great answer. So in ur opinion what is the one that u liked the best to have and why. I’m asking you this because u got to hear all 3 of them and I never heard one of them in person or in my system. I chose and bought the cd9. And also was thinking that newest model would really fit and sound great in my system. I’m really sure that I made the right decision. Thanks for all your great input about them. 👍 |
@tattooedtrackman -I have the REF CD6SE. The CD9 was out of my price point. I heard the CD9, liked it A LOT. What the CD6 does, the CD9 does more of, if that makes sense. |
@wharfy Sure that makes sense. The only way for me to reply to that is what I heard between my Rega Saturn R and then My Rega Isis. The Rega Isis does more of it also. Now I can’t wait to compare the ARC CD9 when it arrives on Tuesday to my Rega ISIS. I will also be selling that and listing it soon. |
