The best CD Player for the money

A lot of good responses but you should deffinatly look at the Ah! Noje Tjoeb. look around on the internet is is about as highly acclaimed as it gets. It isa modified Marantz cdp with a tube output stage for that sweet warm tube sound. it is an amazing cdp so long as you dont mind the crap build quality of the basic marantz cdp. but come on that is like sacrificing looks for sound. it is about $700 new and about $500 used with all the mods. it is amazing

SD3950 $59.95.I can hardly believe how good thay are.I have owend thata data basicII & pro basic & pro primIIa & naim 3.5/Flatcap & more........

it is for real

I own the Sony XA7ES and its still one of the best players I have heard. Built like a tank too.

Definitely check out Decware's modified Sony DVP-685. There are no opamps or electrolytics in the signal path, no negative feedback and a class A SET tube output with it's own power supply. Price is under $700. Lots of info on the site describing mods and a couple of reviews on their forum, including mine. It's worth a look, I love mine and I don't believe there is another tubed SACD/cd/dvd/mp3 player on the market at that price.
