Great musical CDP?

Bobheinatz, I am the new owner of a preowned Cary SACD 306. It is a wonderful player, paired with an Audio Horizons pre amp, Halcro power amp and Newform Research speakers. I go through the componant inventory because a cdp exists in a "community" of devices. When I tell you that the Cary produces luscious music that literally pulls me into it and demands that I listen, what I am saying is that all of the componants are working in concert, if you will, to create that attraction. So I can tell you that the Cary is a perfect match for its electronic siblings, my ear and musical sensibilities. Sorry to be a bit esoteric or pedantic. But I am sure that some have bought componants that were heralded as the second coming only to be disappointed in the way they failed to fit into their particular system or expectations. In general, then, the Cary has a fine reputation, as do the others mentioned above. It went for $6k or so new and can be had for less than half that used. It has the SACD capability. Determining whether it will work for you, in your system, is the the joy of this journey. I wish you well. David

Extremely musical and will do SACD as well!

Extremely musical and will do SACD as well - Linn Akurate CD.

why do you guys persist in using a word improperly ?

it is misleading and confuses people.

an electronic component does not make music. a speaker does not make music, period.

a human being makes music. an inanimate object does not make music.

Mrtennis,
These are expressions people have been using for years and allow us to communicate and have fun.
Why not worry about more serious things in life like the economy?

Regards,
Bob
