NAD 515 ? NAD 545? Marantz 5003 ? Cambridge 340 and 540?, Music Hall 25.2? Best sound? Best transport? Best at format versatility? I want to keep to these choices since these are the ones I can see at local two channel retailers. Thanks
The Marantz is pretty well built and sound very decent. I sent one to a friend and he loves it. Now it's mated with a Scott Nixon Chibi DAC and really sings, so it works well as a transport too.
There is a JD-100 on Audiogon for $560. Tube rolling yields excellent results with this player. The advantage of buying used equipment on Audiogon is you get more for your money and if you don't like it you can usually sell it for what you paid for it. Or you can buy one of the inferior CD players you mentioned above.
