CD Player Recommendations…

Looking for CD player recommendations that mate well with a Musical Fidelity A308 integrated and Revel F30 speakers. Cabling is Discovery Essential speaker cables and matching Essence interconnects. I’m thinking the player should be on the neutral to perhaps slightly recessed/relaxed mids to synergize with the A308 and F30’s more forward characteristics.

I would have you also look at an "Audiolab 6000CDT" transport. Wonderful clean sounding unit that will challenge much more expensive players. The slot loading mechanism may turn some off though.

Excellent Reference players. The Accuphase is for CD playback.
The AYRE and Marantz are SACD playback. The Marantz is a measure warmer than the AYRE. 

Happy Listening!

just a word of caution to contrast the several recommendations for marantz cdp’s

they do not stock lasers for discontinued units, and when the laser in your $3000 player fails, you try to get service/repair, you are told the part is nla... and you own a very nice looking brick

ask me how i know this...
