Attn Vinyl lovers - what CD Player do you use?

While there are lot amazing digital playback systems out there, in my experience its the recording rather than a rig that closes the gap between digital and analog playback.

I have a few Japanese pressings of some popular albums and the magic with them is they absolutely make you forget about "digital" playback. You dont remember the source at all when these CDs are playing, all you do is listen to music !!!!
Thats very similar to what Vinyl does.
But then very very few other CDs (not pressed in Japan) are able to replicate that feeling. And interestingly these are not some exotic record labels like MoFi or XRCD...these are the same vanilla flavor stuff but manufactured in Japan.
Something to think about !!

BTW my digital rig:
TEAC VRDS 10 (modded)
Reimyo DAP-777

Soundlistening,
As I said, these are Japanese pressings of some popular music,
To name a few:

Tracy Chapman : New Beginning and Telling Stories
Pink Floyd : Wish you were here
Fleetowood Mac: Rumours

All these are pretty popular, may I call "mass-market", I have the European pressings of these very same albums but they sound like CDs, the Japanese version sounds like LPs.
Hope this helps.

I am surprised no one has mentioned the CDP "The Last Record Player" by Einstein Audio !! It really is something worth an experience. It elevated the respect I had for this company to a new level. They do things at a different level IMO, at least when it comes to their source components. Now they have a new CDP called "The Source" .
