Audio Aero Prima

I owned a Prima for about a year. Although it's a good and competent player, it is not a great one. The transport unquestionably leaves a lot to be desired and it is not a particularly well built machine. Perhaps the new transport will change that. At the time it was a great bargain vis a vis the competiton. However, in the last couple years other players have surpassed it in both sonics and build quality.

Which players have surpassed it for sonics and build? If there is better price/performance player that's in its price range that betters the new Prima..I am interested in knowing before I make a purchase..Thanks

Kehut - I went from a Jolida JD100 to a Prima Mk2 and I am very happy with the improvement. Check out my "system" page for details and comparisons with other CD players.

Personally, I am happy to have a Prima with the Philips CD12 transport instead of the basic Sony one.
