Time For a CD Player Upgrade

@no_regrets The Audio System is being packed away slowly/reluctantly. There is a intention to remodel the home.

This plan for the home places me not of the Market to commit to a sale.

I do believe, from my end and way of doing things, that I would be best to be straight, letting the Dealership Owner know, I am not in a position to commit to a purchase in 2024, or even 2025. It is then their choice if they want to entertain my inquisitiveness.

If I make it known I bought a PTP Solid Nine TT from them quite a few years past, this might jog their memory and create improved chance of a visit being arranged. It was during this same period of visits that I was introduced to £6K Streamer, which did not make any impression on me, apart from the beauty of the aesthetic, all that Burl Walnut. A type of Streamer one might expect to be found as the music system in a Bentley Vehicle.

@classicrockfan  "If I were you I would get a CDT/DAC combo such as CEC TL5 CDT (directly from Japan)/Gustard A26 or SMSL SUX DAC(directly from China) for less than $2000, instead of spending that much to upgrade your CDP... the S.Q. is far better than any CDP".

Another claim that you doubtlessly can't back up

Happy Listening!

Yes! The Doors SACD(s) are excellent.   Happy Listening!

Well, there's a new kid on the block and it's from Rotel's upper echelon line, Michi. It's the Michi Q5 CDP, CDT & DAC.( I don't know why they call it all that as CDP covers it all)

And, as you can see, it's a top loader! All that for US $6999. I don't think it uses the Streamline CD-Pro 8 drive and is an in house design. I think the darn thing weighs 51 lbs.

All the best,
