CD Player with a Front Row Presentation?

I agree with Sugarbrie but more specifically your choice of Interconect cable, power cord --if that is a consideration to you and speaker wire can be choosen to provide that kind of perspective. A CDP NOT to overlook is the beautifully built and sounding Classe CDP.3. And very reasonably priced at approximately $1,800.00 US$. This player is a dandy!

Good luck.

Highly Recommend the Electrocompaniet ECM1.
I've owned 1 for about 1 year - about to upgrage the DAC to MKII status. This player is World class in sound and Build
Quality. Great reviews and, I think, the Best for the money.
Should be able to pick 1 up on Audiogon for about $2200.00.
Best investment you'll ever make for your system. Enjoy and Good Luck!

The Meridian 508.24 is a very up-front CDP. When I switched from an Audio Research CD2 to the 508.24, it sounded like I was moved from the mid-hall to the front row. The 508.24 does a wonderful job of separating each instument from each other with a very quiet background and provides exquisite detail and coherence.
