The best CD Player for the money

cambridhe audio 840 c azur---end of story--1600 bucks

Marantz SA7-S1. Even when I get the itch to sell my for change sake, I just cannot do it, and I've owned a lot of other players. This one has soul!

10 1/2 years and all the time I thought this was one of those trick questions and I was going to say

"for playing music, the best CD player money can buy costs less than $1.00 because, there are no good sounding CD players worth hundreds, much less thousands of dollars. Don't waste your money"

Did I win??? What do I get? Let me guess...
a cheap CD player? :^)

Happy Listening!

For the money only go out and get a $35 DVD player from Sam's Club. Bring it home and stick some soft rubbery feet on the bottom and some weight on the top (10-15 Lbs.). This will sound about 80% as good as any $500 player (IMO).

The NAD 565BEE will outperform a $35 cdp by leaps and bounds. I don't understand the previous comment at all.
