CD Players with Analogue Sound


A lot of us have traversed all parts of the planet in that never-ending quest to find..... the CD player with that lush, analogue sound.

Yeah,right.And transistor amplifier that sounds like tube one.After that dynamic speakers more transparent than Soundlabs and you are about done.Splendid.
Inna, I like your sarcasm. Sugarbrie, I haven't heard the Cambridge or Rotel, but if neither sound no better than the Planet, low budget is suffering. I wouldn't go any lower in price than a used Jolida, and with that you will be narrowing the more for money gap considerably.
Speaking of nice, and also cheap, I have a Phillips 770 CD-R that doesnt sound bad at all. And as far as didgital sounding analog, my bros RA opus 21 sounds nearly as good as his Linn Lp12, and it cost about 1/5 of what the LP 12 did new. Thats saying something....
With careful patience, plus trial and error; the right interconnect cable selection (for that particular player), can make most decent CD players sound pretty close to analogue.

All three CD players I mentioned really are analogue sounding. Analogue as in a budget Music Hall turntable; not a $10K vinyl setup.
