Looking for a cd player (redbook only). What would be your top 5 players in the 1000-2000$ price range.

Alesis Masterlink with mods by BPT. Add MIT AC2 pc for about 2K total. Try dif vibration footers.
CONSIDER THE CAMBRIDGE AUDIO 840C a great sounding player which has been recieving great reviews
I would listen to:

Naim CD5i
Simaudio CD1
Cambridge Audio 840C
Rega Apollo
Marantz SA8001

That's new of course. The range changes with used players...you can generally go up 1 notch in each company's line if going used.
Here is another vote for the Naim CD5i -2. I bought one in January and have been on the Naim upgrade ladder ever since!
