CDP for Plinius/Totem Combo

Using a Bryston BCD-1 input to 9200 feeding Tyler monitors. Excellent resolving, neutral sound with soundstaging and instrument timbres galore. I was unsure at first due to several critiques as to 'cold' sound from the Bryston, but after an involving demo and what is now about 2 months of serious use it was/is one of the best purchases I've made in my system. I listen to alot of solo piano and small combo works; incredible! I'd add that the midrange is stunning with vocals; this attributed in part to Tyler's drivers.

Terra3,

Thanks for the input. I am quite interested in the Bryston CDP actually. Are you using the balanced outs by the way? Any significant difference with the single ended outputs?

Alas, purchased my 9200 before the balanced input feature, so limited to unbalanced.

With that purchase, new Tyler monitors, replacing my LP12 . . . . no near future upgrading of electronics! At some point it would be nice to hear the balanced output in a similar quality amp, but I'm very content now to let things be for what I suspect will be quite a while.

I found Audio Aero to be a nice match with my 9100 and Model 1's. I used the Prima and Capitol (still have the Capitol). In today's used market, you could try a Capitol player in the low $3K range. The Prima is also a nice match which you could try used for significantly less or new for right in your price range.
