pick me a cd player please-3k to 4k budget

at that Price range its unbeatable - had mine for over 6 months and its just stunning - just keeeps getting better!!!! Sold my Electrocomapniet for it!!!!

thks for ideas all,i went with a RA Opus 21 Ref. mod by GNSC.that should be ok for my little system.Steve's gave me a good deal..thks

Hifijunkeoz...which cd player are you talking about? The Droplet?

I have one of those as well, 2bigears. I think you'll enjoy it. A very smooth ,relaxed presentation.
Good choice.

I think the best value in this price range is the Audio Research CD3. Wilson has been noted for using the CD3 to demo their speakers. That is what convinced me. Also you get the quality and service that is legendary. Makes every cd sound better than ever. I have some older cds that were pretty grating. This player takes the edge off and restores the detail. Hard to explain but easy to hear.
