Biggest soundstage in a CD Player ?

if you bought a Marantz SACD player it sounds good as long as you feed it sacd when you listen to a regular cd you have a regular marantz cd player. Thats a no brainer. Good Luck

I have also compared the Levinson 39 to a sony sacd player that was 5k and even when they used a sacd disk the 39 still sounded better.

Lev335, that's a pretty interesting comment on the 39 vs. the SCD-1. What makes you say the 39 sounded better?

Wow, thx for all the comments.
Frankly, SACD technology leaves me cold. Its been on the market for two years, and yet there are practically no titles over here in Europe. And i have heard the Sony SACD-1 play redbook CD through Martin logans and a Krell Amp, and frankly it is blown away by any wadia, krell or even Electrocompaniet CDPs. My CD collection is all redbook, so there is absolutely no point in me spending $4000 on a SACD player that doesnt play redbook CD nearly as good as the previous makes i cited....

So moving on away of SACD, the only lead i have are the Mark Levinson 39, the Aero Capitol and the Electo EMC-1.

I heard the Electrocompaniet, and i didnt like it much. A bit bland for my taste. I listened to the Krell 250CD, and i was blown away by the soundstage and precision of the music. I am now looking for a CDP to beat the Krell, and that can add more musicality. Suggestions are welcome..

you should try the accuphase 75v. it's the best one-box cdp i've yet heard. -kelly
