Crazy to buy a 17 year old CD Player?


My ARC CD2 just died...I think the laser finally gave up the ghost.  Any how I've got thousands of red book CDs in my library and need a replacement player.  I'm thinking an ARC CD 3MKII or the Mark Levinson 390S.  Am I crazy to be thinking this?  Got a budget of around $2000.00.  My system, though dated, is made up of higher end stuff: ARC 25 pre amp, ARC VT 150 mono amps, VPI TNT IV, Wilson Witts, all running through Transparent Reference (Balanced).

A long term update…the Ayre 5xeMP has proved to be a keeper.  Have no desire to upgrade though I have dipped a toe into streaming and just purchased a Lumin D2.

Thank You for the update. AYRE certainly knows how to make a killer player.  Enjoy the Music.

Happy Listening!
