Best CD Player, new or used between $1-2K

Hi gentlemen, I would like to know what is the best CD player new or used between 1-2k. I would love to get my hands on an Norwegian beauty like the Electrocompaniet, but they tend to be rather pricey now. Does anyone have any opinions where to get a Electrocompaniet at a good price or good recommendations? PAUL

Be sure to check out the new Cary 303 CD player on the used market. I've seen them on the used market for about 1600 to 1800. It is an extremely good player in this price range! Goodluck.

The Sony XA7ES is a wonderful player. MSRP is $3,000, but if you look around you can get them new for around $1,500.

Your in a good situation....1 to 2k is a good amount..and all of the above suggestions have merit.. I would add. the Audio Research CD2, and the vastly underated Classe CDP-1...or the two seperates from Classe. Also the Bel Canto DAC-1 with a CD transport or player to drive it using the nordost Silver Shadow Coax cable is a good system..
