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

Clavil, it's great that you got to listen for yourself to so many great contenders. Congrats on your Puccinin purchase.

Baranyi, Finally someone with a sense of humor! I guess this means I have to apologize too. Cerrot, I think you would be very suprized to know how many members hide their industry affiliation. Tvad posted my website, not I.
I think that part of the point is that you should self-disclose dealer status when applicable. Maybe putting a link to your retail site in your signature would be wise. I, for one, prefer knowing when I'm talking with a dealer or manufacturer vs. an enthusiast.

Zieman, perhaps you should have posted it. I was wondering where your position was coming from. You are totally bashing Esoteric~which many feel to be a very good product. I find your comments unwarranted and your opinions are more troubling having found out you are a dealer. I have a great relatioship with my dealer and find that his best quality is diplomacy (and humility). He has never once knocked a product that I may have said I liked. He also does not knock products he does not represent. It's my ears (and I am the customer) so if he disagrees, he keeps it to himself. He may ask me to listen to something different, but he never bashes.
