Audio Aero Prima or Consonance REF 2.2 cd player.

I was ready to purchase a prima cd player several months ago, until my finances prevented me to do. In the mean time I was searching for a used player to get my by until I could purchase a new player. I found a used Resolution Audio CD-50 very reasonable. I am at the point where I can purchase new. So not sure exactly what to do. Took me sometime to find the cd-50. I have been reading some very good things about the CONSONANCE REF 2.2 player. I haven't had a chance to listen to any of these players.
I listen to rock and roll and usually very loud. My system consists of a Hafler XL-600 amp, AR SP9MKII preamp and a pair of klipsch KLF30's. I like the system for what it is.
I am curious if anyone has had a chance to listen to either the Prima or the REF2.2, maybe compare the two, if so, could I get an opinion? I have waited so long to make a purchase. I want to make sure I buy the better of the two.
Thanks to all that reply in advance!

Warren does make a point that the Audio Aero is at it's very best with accoustic, jazz and classical music. If you are so much of a rocker that power is everything, then you ask good questions.

I have audio aero equipment and I would own nothing else. Oh yeah, I run the latest Led Zepplin DVD through it on two channel and it rocks!

There are at least two Audio Aero Outlets in the San Francisco Bay Area. You can call the folks at Globe Audio www.globeaudio.com and ask. I don't remember the name of one of the outlets in San Francisco. It is located just off from Van Ness Avenue, near Pine St. (I think).

Anyway, the folks at Globe are very helpful.

Okay, here's a bit of an open secret about getting great information about the latest on Audio Aero.

First, there is that fellow in Minnesota, or wherever, who has the rights to U.S Distribution. I forget his name, but while he is a real nice guy on the phone, he is not as helpful as the North American Outlet located at Globe Audio in Canada.

Call them: (800)330-3804.

the response is so good that you will wind up calling them first, even when you think the information is available locally.

These guys even track individual serial numbers and releases and can answer all kinds of questions.

Good luck!
