My Phish is Dead Cary it or Proceed to new Planet

I need some help, I am in the market for a used CDP in the under $1300 range. I listen the Phish, the Dead, bluegrass, lots of jazz and me and my boys rock to the Rachmaninov.

My current system is;
B&W 805: speakers
Classe CP35; preamp
CAL DX2: CDP
Anthem AMP1; amp
Tara & Kimber cables

I'm looking to start rebuilding the whole system starting with the CDP and I am looking for input. I am looking at a Cary 303-100, Musical Fidelity A3, Proceed CDP, Rega planet 2000 or Jupiter, Classe CDP1 and the Adcom GCD-750.

Guide me oh wise ones who have the priveledge and experience

Thanks SUKO

Regarding audio viral research, I use audiogon, audioasylum, audioreview, a lot of internet audio periodicals like stereotimes, audiophilia, 6moon, soundstage just to name a few. Google works quite well too.

My fave music..... Momus, Tahiti80, St. Etienne, Ivy, Beautiful South, Badly Drawn Boy sorta, New Order sorta... anything soothing mellow and synthetic or so it seems after the fact.

Now I can see the stylistic differences with the Jolida, its that synthetic part that will kill you, try a little Buckley in your diet and it will only seem surreal after the fact.

Funny I was expecting something in the realm of Brahams concerto whatever with the brillant harspicord solo by the flying nun in the London philharmonic. Interesting, tell me was it sunny in LA today????

Buckley or buckwheat? LA was typical LA weather today and has been for the past week. Jolida is stylistically different to...... how?

Buckley, Jeffery- Singer who died in the mid nineties after taking a swim in the mississippi after a 5th of whiskey. Just a comment seems like you might like your a bit on the darker, techno side. Hence the difference with the jolida. To be honest I only have an outsiders prospective from my earlier days of The The, Cure, Ministry and Sonic Yourh. So I may be way off base.
