Audia Flight CD One

Very nice cdplayer but with tough competition. It's not harsh and very good with classical music. It has European finesse and authority also a very good electric toploading mechanism that works smooth. 3 seperated power supplies and goos antivibration chassis.

I've heard this Italian cd player when I was in Hong Kong. I liked it a lot and almost bought one. I ended up buying a Metronome CD-2V signature instead.

To give some perspective, here are the CD players I liked when I was in the market for one: Audia Flight One, Metronome CD-2V, Meridian G09, Lindemann 820, Goldmund SRDVD, and the Audio Aero Prima.

Thank you Kops and Alvinlin for your input.

Alvinlin - is the Meridian G09 a new model or is it a typo?

I just got their CD player and WOW! I am extremely impressed with the dynamics the player potrays. I liked this compared to the metronome CD-2V. There is no comparision against the oracle that i also had a chance to listen to. One of the most musical sounding CD Players in the market.

The G09 is a typo. I meant Meridian G08.

Usa, I thought the build quality of the Audia Flight was top notch. It was built like a tank.

Which other CD players did you audition before choosing the AF CD1?
