The best var. out CD player for under 1500 used?

Rmihai,

The original poster is looking for units with variable output/volume control. Most, if not all, of the units you list do not have variable output.

Got any suggestions that actually have the feature that the original poster was looking for?

Thanks for all of the great input. It looks as though the Quad and the Cary 308 are the main contenders. Does anyone have an opinion between these two? I am looking forward to simplifying the system a bit and going higher rez. The only real issue is impedance related on the Spectral side of the equation, and I doubt that I can answer this question without simply giving it a try. Any educated guesses on the probability that I might fry the amp with the Quad or Cary direct?

Arcam cd92,worth every penny for 7 bills cant go wrong.Al

Coffeey,

Arcam cd92 does not have variable volume control to the best of my knowledge.

The Quad 99 CD-P has variable out and very useful digital inputs as well. Several Publications have given it glowing reviews. I love mine!

I had "both" McIntosh and Sony SACD units. The Quad 99 sounds much more musical and detailed. The remote and function capabilities are also great.

Hope this helps, happy Listening,
Bennett
