Best CD player

I would consider Audio Aero Capitole or Levinson 390S if you can pick either up (and you may need to stretch, but either would be worth it)...

I am told you should also consider Sony ES or the SCD1, though I can't personally comment.

Good luck,
Jacob

I third the Audio Aero Capitole recomendation, sell the placette and you'll be there.

I like the Levinson 39/390S, but right now it seems that the Aero Capitole is THE hot CD player-- haven't heard it myself. Great choice of speakers Jw;>)-- I use Syn. Res. spkr cables and ICs with mine. Cheers. Craig

So many people that i respect have said such good things about the Audio Aero Capitole that it HAS to be good. Other than that, the Electrocompaniet is a very nice sounding unit. The earlier non 24/192 EC-1 smoked the SCD-1 in a head to head comparison in my opinion. Not even close. The salesman that was demoing both units also agreed wholeheartedly. Sean

Sell your preamp, get a used Audio Aero Capitole here on Audiogon for $4000.

Cheers
