CD player finally died. Need rec.

Brad,I am sorry for not being more helpful,thats why were here.I also dont mean to dominate your posting.If I were to buy a C.D.player I would get a REGA PLANET used on this site for under $500.00 I think I saw one for that price.I have no clue about a DVD player.Analog is not for everyone.There is much more work,care and tweaking involved and it can be a pain in the ass.Right,Carl?

Bday,Its obvious you haven't heard an even modest analog set up compared to a digital source.Nor did you read the post I mentioned to you.If you had done either you wouldnt have responded the way you did.Circuit City has a C.D.player right up your alley!! Happy Listening!!

I agree with David. There's no way a cd can sound superior to a lp. Depending on how much you want to spend, you can get a decent used LINN LP 12 with ITTOK arm for about a grand. If you really need to buy a cd player, I wouldn't buy a dvd for that purpose. In the $500 price range, you should consider a used rega planet, a cambridge cd-4se or even a ah! tjoeb 99. Happy listening. carlos

If you're just looking for a recommendation rather than a philosophy, I will tell you that I am very happy with my CAL Audio CL-10. I think that the CL-20 plays CDs and DVDs.

You might want to check out the Muse seperates, I have heard that they are awesome and are great on CDs. The Meridian 508.24 is really nice for a CD player also. I think analog sounds better too, but what are you gonna do if you can't get what you want on LP, miss out on some great music so that you can stand firm on analog ground, not me. Good luck, Ryan
