Don't forget used Cary's: 303/200, 303/300, or a 306 if you can swing it. I have a 303/200 with a very revealing system, & have never had a serious urge to upgrade. And Cary can provide service if needed.
It's time for a good CD player.
I’ve mostly listened to vinyl and FM radio since the introduction of the Compact Disc and never invested in a really good one (currently using an Arcam CD-73).
It’s time for an upgrade.
My question is, would it be better to buy an older very expensive unit (say 4 or 5 years old) used, or a less expensive modern new unit? Have CD players improved much in the last few years?
My price range is around $1-2K. I have a bunch of Redbook discs, mostly classic rock and classical.
Also, I have no interest in digital music servers, mp3, or vacuum tubes (no offense).
It would be used with a Linn Majik Kontrol preamp, Onkyo M5000R power amp, and Amphion Creon 2 loudspeakers. Analog rig is an Acoustic Signature Manfred, Michell TechnoArm, Denon DL103R.
Any insights, links, or suggestions would be welcome. Thank you.
