Replacing TT with CD

Well-Tempered Turntable & arm, I'd guess. What is it about the turntable that makes you want to give it up, or is it the desire to get new recordings of current artists? Reason I ask is that usually I'm recommending the Well-Tempered to folks tired of CD and wanting to get into analog!

try the burmester cdp-001 or the accuphase dp-75v. if your wtt&a is like others i've heard, you're likely suffering the pains and arrows of outrageously dark, slow and uninvolving sound. just my 200 euro. -cfb

At 200 euro, that's an expensive piece of advice, Cornfed! As to the question,I'm not sure why you want to give up analogue -- when you can purchase a cdp anyway and keep the tt. Particularly for classical. I have both and still prefer analogue although cd is a necessity for software. Joe b's experience offers good guidelines (after all, he's doen it!). Re, european players, Audio Aero Capitole, the Electro, the P Lurne, are good alrounders. IMO, cfb's Burmester & Accuphase offer a different sound to the others (more attention to reproducing detail)-- it's really up to your preference.

Audio Aero Capitol.

If you must replace your turntable with digital (can't imagine why you'd want to), I'd suggest you consider a Sony XA777ES SACD player which does a beautiful job with CDs and gives you SACD capability as a bonus. It's almost as good-sounding as my VPI analogue setup (TNT-l/JMW l0.5/Grado Reference).
