While reading through the many threads on Vinyl vs. CD, I thought it might be interesting to see what CD transports/players Vinyl fans use when not listening to their analog rig?
I use a Prima Luna CD-8 (with upgraded NOS tubes). While I can't claim to be an expert on all the gear that's out there, this one was by far the most analog-sounding player I've come across in its price range ($3K).
Jafant, I have not. I own a Esoteric K01 so I am not searching for a new player, if I was and for the money my money would go to the Marantz. They are and have always been great sounding, dependable and well made and if a audiophile small company built it cost 3 times more.
I have a multi-format Pioneer DVD player, which handles SACD, DVD-A and the odd CD here and there, but generally speaking, the CDs (which have all been ripped) are played back through Squeezebox Touches from the files.
