Well, I ended up getting a NEW Arcam FMJ CD23T after having the opportunity to audition one in my home for a few days, courtesy of my local dealer. I feel I got a good price on it, and I am quite happy with the sound in my system. Thanks to all for your inputs to this thread.
Best CD Player under 2k ?
I'm looking to upgrade my CD player. Budget is $2k. Am considering a used ARC CD-2 (can be had on Audiogon for $1700 or less) or a new Rega Jupiter. It's difficult to get a demo on an ARC CD-2, since it's no longer made. Has anyone out there listened extensively to these 2 machines ? I would be very interested in anybody's feedback who has done extensive listening to these 2 CD players. Thanks for your opinion.
PS If there are other serious contenders in this price range that are worthy of considering, please let me know.
