I actually have both units. I prefer the Music Hall - build quality is superb and the sound is first-rate. Cosmetics are outsanding! The Cambridge sounds warm and articulate. Build quality is nice but not substantial - a good value for the money asked. I'd go with the Music Hall.
Cambridge or Music Hall??
Hi all,
I'm looking for the best cdp for less than $500. It looks like the Cambridge 500SE and the Music Hall CD-25 are my best contenders.
I was also thinking about a used Planet, but it seems like the new 24/96 machines - while not built as well as the Planet - have more advanced circuitry and would prove to "sound" better??
Thanks in advance for your advice.
