resolution audio

Has anybody heard this cd player? If so, how does it compare to the Mark Levinson 39 player. Thanks

The CD50 is up there with the best, very neutral and fast, but is laid-back - certainly in comparison with the Wadia and Theta players. The CD 50 tends to need livening up with cones in many systems. The CD55 is a bit more open and with better resolution (pardon the pun) and less laid-back. I feel the CD50 is better than say the Meridian 508-24 in most respects (having owned both), and importantly, you don't need a preamp with the CD50 (if you play CDs only).

I've been very pleased. I'm interested in the cones. Which ones? How do i set them up? Thanks.
