CD Players with Analogue Sound

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....

I second the Meridian 508.24, and add any of the Naim players.

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.

Sugarbrie, I know I am sounding argumentatively, but I've heard the Planet on my system, the same day as Pioneer Elite, Music fidelity, and a Jolida 100. I think a record player would have to have a really gunky needle to sound anything like a Regal Planet. Even the Pioneer beat it in spades in listen ability. The Jolida, with it's tube outstage, sounds the most analogue of that group.

I won't disagree with anyone. I personally don't care for the Rega Planet. But to many, it is a low cost analogue sounding player. If there was only one right answer, everyone would have the same system at each price point.

I'd rather give people options and let them make up their own mind.
