Best one box CDP, Got it short listed to Four


I've been shopping for a new CD Player. Have narrowed it down to a couple tough choices. My musical tastes are rock, pop, some jazz.

Electrocompanient EMC1UP
Audio Aero Capitole MkII
Accuphase DP-75V
MF Nuvista 3CD

Can anyone give me some advice which would work best for my listening preferences.

Thanks

I am familiar with the original 861. This player is about dynamics and power. It seems to at times be a little too fast sounding to me. It can produce bass down deeper than you have ever heard. The midrange is powerfully sweet and clear. This player is also incredibly quiet when run balanced.

My modded 861 is just simply the music. The Accuphase I am positive is much more refined and smooth sounding right out of the box. The Accuphase will give you a much more relaxing experience. If it plays SACD's you might want to go for that one. However, hybrid's sound great on the 861 too.

Let us know what you decide. When are you going to do a shoot out?
Since I purchased my 390S I just listen to the music, not the CD player. It's the next best thing to analogue I've heard. The 5 year transferable no-questions-asked warranty doesn't hurt, either.
just thought id mention Accuphase has a 5 year warranty. Not that you'd need the warranty, ive never heard of an Accuphase CD Player having a problem, thats how good the build quality is.

And i agree 100% with Avnut's analysis of these two players. Really opposite presentations. It all comes down to taste at this level, and i know where mine lie.
