the best CD player between 6'000 - 10'000 $ ?


I need to replace my old Denon DCD 2700
I hear mainly classical music (don't need a huge bass ;-) )
I am looking for precision, precise stageimaging, high definition & warmth ... ;-)

thanks

Yeah, you're a real player in the biz.
at the end I explode the budget ;-)
after hearing:
Audio Research CD7 (very nice musicality)
Krell 505 (with newest preamp and monos with Magico V3 ... a catastrophy!)
Wadia 581 ( on the same system, more musical but the cable wasn't obviously a cast ... very slow mechanism!!)
Esoteric combi 03 (incredibly analitical with Viola preamp, Manley monos & Amati Palldium)
MBL combi (beautifull sound but too expensive, with Pass pream & monos with MBL 101 ... what a mistake! the bass desastrous)
EMM Labs single box ( maybe a little slow? Pass integrated with Avalon Sentinel ... waouh what a loudspeaker!!!)
Emm Labs combi (same system, incredible details coming out)
DCS P8 (very good with JR Capri + monos 501+ Avalon ascendant)

finally I decided to buy the ...

DCS Puccini ... analitical and very musical ... the perfect combination for my sytem

before having it home, I could listen to it on the Avalon Indra & Sentinel
Nothing worse than seeing very biased, self serving posts from a member here...and then finding out they are a dealer. Now it all makes sense. Try to lighten up a little.
