Looking for a single box CD Palyer that is both warm and detailed. Great for Jazz, clasical. Budget has got to be $2000 or under - New or Used. Your input very appreciated.
Granite Audio 657 tube CD player is excellent. Retail $3,000 but I think with a bit of patience you can get it for around $2,000. You can contact me for more info on this.
Having heard none of the other recommendations, I'll still make a strong pitch for the Sony XA777ES. Superb CD musicality (via 6 parallel DACs) with the best possible (IMO) SACD playback as a bonus, for $2000 new -- with a 5-year warranty -- from Oade Bros.
The Sony SCD-1 performs this apparent paradoxical task quite well. I will also include the word 'smooth' along with warm and detailed.
You may be able to find a used SCD-1 for about $2000 or so. Or even the Sony 777es for about $1400 which is supposedly quite similar sonically to the SCD-1.
