Advice on Cary CD Players or other options.

I own a Cary SLI-80 paired with Sonus Faber Grand Piano Homes cabled with all Audience Au24. I recently sold my Cary CD-308 in the process of upgrading to a second hand Cary CD-303/200.

I have now read a few comments (forward sounding,lacking low end authority) that is making me re-think this purchase as it will be my main source. I would be very open to suggestions on what I should be looking at used for $1500.00.

Thanks in advance,

Chris

Hey Kid,

When I sold my Cary CD-308, I went with a Quad 99 CDP. It is a very good sounding player and cost the same as the CD-308. I prefer it over the CD-308 as it is a bit more analog sounding and it has 6 digital inputs, so you can add digital sources (DVD, some CATV boxes, some Sat. TV boxes) to it and use the excellent 24bit/192Khz DAC built into the Quad.

There is one just listed on A-goN this evening for $875. No relationship with the seller, but that's a great CD player for the price.

BTW, I've never heard any of the other Cary CD players, so I don't know how they compare.

Enjoy,

TIC
