CD player wanted $500-$1000


I'm looking for a CD player in the range $500-$1000. It will be mated with a Plinius 9200 integraded amplifier and Focal Cobalt 816 loudspeakers. Any thoughts?

At the $1000 price level, go with the Rega Apollo. At the $550 price level, go with a Music Hall MMF CD25.2. If you are interested, at below the $500 price level, go with a Cambridge Audio Azur 540. After owning a number of CD players over 20 years, these are 3 players that I have used with the most enjoyment in my systems. I am sure that there are good used values out there and attractively priced giant killers out there, as well ... but over the long haul, these are 3 players that you could be happy with.

The Rotel RC1072 is good, real good in fact.

But, has anyone mentioned the Rega Apollo yet? No question in my mind..
I have a Simaudio Equinox and it seems to be a real nice mate for my 9100, auditioned jupitor 2000,& rc1072 before my purchase and have no regrets. equinox can be had here used for $1000. good luck on your choice.
The TRL/Sony DVP-NS900V is one exceptionally fine sounding MUSICAL player – getting us much closer to analog. It is excels in most all of the audiophile categories… resolution, neutrality, soundstaging, dynamics, transparency, instrument weight, ambience, image placement and separation, etc. Listening to your reference system will be a treat… as it emotionally pulls you into the music… allowing you to see past your stereo and enjoy the musicians’ performance. I strongly recommend this special player! it’s a no-brainer!!!
