Your pick of CD player....

To replace my nice sounding Jolida JD100. With all the well deserved accolades about the JD..I do feel it outperformes many players at the 2K price point and some higher priced players.. I know many of you have upgraded to the AA Prima 24/96 MkII and its a definate improvement. I would concider this and also the Canary 100, Cary 308T(which I owned a few years ago...but couldn't appreciate on my then lousy system)
and perhaps the 303/200 at its used price is worth concidering.

I also think about the older Wadia 21,16 or 6 as they were excellent players in thier time...but perhaps are outperformed by the likes of the players Ive mentioned above...I need some thoughts.....price point is up to ~ 1500-1700 used....Thanks.

Hi Ken :-)
Since you were at the house, my system is completely different. The only thing that remains from then is the 400CX.

I am one of the TRL Marantz sa-14 users. If you can get one, you might be, impressed. :-) For the money I'm not sure how it can be beaten. If you feel like making the drive - "stop by" and have a listen. ;-)

best of luck in your search.

Great Northern Sound Co modded Resolution Audio Opus 21. All I can say is wow! This player is very good.

what about a dac? something like bel canto dac2 for example. its in your price range. I have it and really like it. very musical. you can sell your jolida and get this dac and pick up a sony s7700 on e-bay to use as a transport. pretty good combo. just a thought. oh, and bel canto is something you can try before buying - Audio Advisor has 30 days return policy...

FWIW, I upgraded from a JD100 to the Cary 308T and - in my system - the Cary has been a nice upgrade. In my experience, the Cary is more detailed and generally speaking is just more "refined" than the Jolida. My system was suffering from a treble edginess that disappeared when I swapped for the Cary.

Good Luck!
