CD player finally died. Need rec.


Help!!! My Sonagraphe CD player has finally expired. It gave me over 6 years of great sound, but it has now been silenced. I want to replace it with a DVD/CD player, but, I don't know of any that are Reference quality at a good deal. On the other hand, should I stick with CD only for now??? Please help!!! I want to buy today.

Bday,Its obvious you haven't heard an even modest analog set up compared to a digital source.Nor did you read the post I mentioned to you.If you had done either you wouldnt have responded the way you did.Circuit City has a C.D.player right up your alley!! Happy Listening!!
Carl,If people want the best sound they can afford why are they so narrow minded? If I went to Digital I would have to pay 3-4 times what I have invested in analog and then probably be disappointed.I finally broke down and bought 2 new C.D.s yesterday because I recieved a gift certificate from a C.D. only store.I am so used to the superior sound of analog honestly,I dont know if I can even enjoy these C.D.s The sound stage shrunk,in my face,bright,lack of air,3-D gone!! C.D.s NO WAY!!

Brad,I am sorry for not being more helpful,thats why were here.I also dont mean to dominate your posting.If I were to buy a C.D.player I would get a REGA PLANET used on this site for under $500.00 I think I saw one for that price.I have no clue about a DVD player.Analog is not for everyone.There is much more work,care and tweaking involved and it can be a pain in the ass.Right,Carl?
