Great cdp's with analog volume control?

My list so far is-

Audio Aero Capitole
Resolution Audio Opus 21
Musical Fidelity CD-Pre 24
Krell KPS-20 - not sure of that model number

Anything else of note? Also, do people think there's anything to be said for having a dedicated pre-amp when using one of these cdp's as your ONLY source?

Thanks!

P.S. Sorry for any weird formatting, I'm writing this from my handheld!

Reubent, how would you compare the MF and the Quad?

Thanks.

The Levinson 390S was excellent.

LR1,

Sorry I didn't see your reply yesterday.

About the comparison between the MF CD/pre-24 and Quad: I have not compared them directly yet. I have listened to both separately and I think they are both very good sounding CD players and they both have excellent functionality (with the MF having many more features and supporting analog inputs). Unfortunately, the MF CD/pre-24 is a little too large for the shelf I need to put it in, so I bought the Quad to stick in that spot as it is much smaller.

I'm taking both to a friend's house this weekend. He has a truely world-class system and I want to see how both do in that type of setup. If you want to know the results, e-mail me next week by using the link on this page. My user name is Reubent.

Lastly, I am probably interested in selling the MF as I don't really want to buy a different audio rack to support it. If you are interested, let me know. It is about 2 months old and I bought it new from a dealer here on AudiogoN.

Enjoy,

TIC
