OK Stereophiles I Need a CD Player

Can you tell me what the best cd player new or used I can get for under $2000, want to purchase something in the next week or so and have heard alot about the meridian 588, jolida 100a, arcam fmj23! I've never had a player in this class so its unknown territory, I love quick tight bass, smooth clean mids. I run a carver c1000a receiver/amp and atc 20-2 monitors, right now a marantz 7010 dvd/cd player, the atc's are the finest natural sounding speaker I've ever heard and I need a compliment to them, PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!

Spend another $100 or so and get a used Cary 306/200. It's an astounding player and it's going for nothing these days. You won't find anything that'll come close for the price in my opinion. These are too good a deal to pass up. I owned one, bought used at substantially more, and would do so again without question.

I ended up getting the jolida 100a mod 1 and am very pleased, thanks for the feedback! This player really is sweet, the voices are so crisp and real and the soundstage is pretty incredible for a $1300 player, I'm going to be happy with this unit for quite sometime, thanks again everyone.

If you want something under $1000 including shipping (which is expensive because I lack the original box and the machine is heavy), I will sell you my "minty" Sony CDP-XA7ES below blue book. Read the reviews and see what you think.
