What is the best redbook CD player for 6K to 8K?

I am looking for the best redbook CD player for 6K to 8K that will project a 3 dimensional hologram-like sound image. I am considering the Mark Levinson 390S CD player. I am open for suggestions concerning comparisons between this and other CD players of equal or better sound quality. Universal players are out of the running since I own only redbook CDs. The fickle finger of fate has not made up it's mind about the next generation of media technology. So until then I will be patient and enjoy what I have.

Guido, If the changes made in the APL forum content reflect the emerging new reality at APL, why use the word 'spin' and 'artful redirection', which are pregnant with negative connotations. Those are not the phrases that come to my mind with a straight shooter like Brent. Perhaps, you didn't mean to suggest any negative connotations. In any case, in view of your previous posts on this thread, your choice of words raised my eyebrows.

Thank you TVAD, you are correct, the discussion started on 06-30, not on 06-14. My mistake.

Gentleman, I believe that we are all good hearted and intelligent enough so we can remain good friends, like always. There is no need for clever words war because it will take us nowhere.

Guido, you have always been very good friend and also respected member of the APL Hi-Fi forum. I have always valued your feedback and input very much. Now you are in love with the stock X-01 and I have nothing against that. I am sure that one day you will audition a NWO player and then we can have more reasonable and productive discussion on this subject.

As far as APL customer service and satisfaction goes, Brent Rainwater has made enormous difference. To say Thank You Brent even 1000 times will not be enough.

I'd also want to say Thank You to all APL family members for their continued support and faith in APL Hi-Fi!

Regards,
Alex

Thank you Alex, I will drink to that gladly!

My recent barbules aside, for which I apologize, I am truly happy that Brent is part of the APL tribe. A creator of your caliber does need and deserve a business manager of the same stature for the company to thrive and grow.
And yes, I do confess a little pride for my 60Lbs bundle of joy X-01 Limited. What ;utterly amazes me is that as good as it is, I fully realize there is already something even better out there, stock or modified as it may be. And the trend of rapid improvement in the digital arena will continue for the foreseeable future. . . mind boggling indeed!

If the creature were not so darn heavy I would likely take my X-01 with me in my next trip to SF. I would love to use it as a benchmark while listening to your NWO-2 creation, which has undoubtedly exceeded the X-01 Limited's already considerable musical prowers. more realistically however, I will wait for an APL tribesman to materialize in Austin with an NWO-2 in his system for some cheery cross-auditioning fun!

Your admittedly cantankerous friend, Guido
