The ARC CD2 makes magic in my system and there is one listed new today for $1400 bucks. They normaly bring $1500 to $1800. It is hard to imagine beating it for that sort of cash. It has harmonic richness, presentation of space, and transparent quality that I have never experienced from CD before. I had a CD1, which was great but was a bit too warm and romantic with the rest of my gear.
CD Player Recommendation
I know this has been done to death, but help if you can. I am downsizing to a one box CD player from seperates. My budget is $1800. I can't stretch any further and I am buying used. I am interested in any opinions on upsampling Cd players among others and I'm wondering if anyone other than a dealer has heard the Shanling player. I am definitely not interested in SACD or DVD Audio. To help here is my system:
Air Tight ATC-1 Preamp
c-j Premiere 11a amp
Sonus Faber Grand Piano Speakers (originals)
various wire.
Thank you all in advance for your help.
