Recomendations on CD Palyers with Volume Control

Have you checked the archives? Try here and do a search on all words "cd" "volume" and "control". You should find a variety of suggestions.

Based on the cost of the MLs, I would suggest the Audio Aero Capitole mk2.

When I inserted an SCE Harmonic Recovery System black box between CDP and amp, there was a performance increase. Since there are no controls to adjust, it can be considered as a part of the signal optimizing circuitry which manufacturers have not seen fit to include when they make provision to let you omit a formal preamp stage.
You can check out its reviews, one of which is on the positive-feedback.com website. If you see it used on Audiogon, well worth adding to your system when you go direct from CDP to amp. Strangely, by adding an extra box with its interconnect (going less than direct) you get better sound. Opposite to what our intuition tells us.
As an aside, it also works even if you use a preamp, since the SCE signal transfer optimization ideas go beyond what is built in to most components.

Try Consonance Droplet CD player, it has what youre looking for. Volume control, balance and single output, tube based CDP, detachable power cord, and you can even use as a transport ( it has coaxial digital out), it looks great and sound great. This thing is heavy it weighs 45lbs.

I second Audio Aero Capitole mk II. A truly exeptional player.
