CD player around 1K


Which CD player would integrate best into my 2 channel rig and/or home theater? I was thinking Planet 2000, X-ray V3, or Jolida. I may be selling the Golden Tube and replacing with a Rogue Magnum 99.

My Equipment list as follows:

Home Theater: Sunfire TGII, Parasound 2205A, Panasonic RP-92,Sonus Faber Concerto's all around.

Stereo: Golden Tube SE-40 amps(2), Golden Tube SEP-1 preamp, Sonus Faber Grand Piano.

Consider the new Rega Apollo as well. Many good comments out there.

Otherwise it is the usual tube CDP contenders: Jolida JD100, Audio Aero Prima (more like $1500 though, but well worth it). Certainly a tube CDP should fit well with both your HT and your stereo system.

I have always like the Rega sound and recently did a another comparison between my original Planet and my Audio Aero Prima: The Rega is pretty good and excels in particualr with its tuneful bass, but does not get close in detail, realism, separation to the Prima. The new Apollo might be a different story though.

Good luck!
