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

Pani,

We would appreciate some of those references to enable us to expereince this.

Give us a few of your "top 10"

Thanks
Tim

This player after many others made me smile with cd again.
Great analog sound.

dCS Puccini with clock is the solution I have choosen ... but good LPs just sound marvellous and so natural

Rotel RCD-1072....................Since most of my $$$ goes into my analog front end and buying more LP's (a constant adventure), I didn't want to spend a lot on a CD player. This Rotel RCD-1072 is a beautiful sounding deck, and it's "very analog sounding," bringing out the best of my CD's without breaking the bank.
