Check out the new Musical Fidelity A3.2CD. It is 85% as good as the Nuvista 3CD that is currently Stereophile Digital Product of the Year. It uses the same transport, upsampling DAC and Nuvista circuity, without the Nuvista tubes, as the $5000.00 NuVista 3CD. But is sells for only $1500.00. Amazingly good and a great value. Walter
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.
