CD Player recommendations for a SET system

I thought I'd post this in the Amp Pream forum for the SET experts. I have 211 mono blocks and DB-99 speakers. I am trying to find a CD player which will give some dynamics to the sound. Budget is about 2k for a used player. My system sounds very good currently (using an older sony CD player) but large scale orchestra sounds somewhat conjested. Vocals and smaller scale music is great. What CD players have you SET users found that work best in the combo.

Thanks

This thread reminds me of a TNT editorial found in this week's addtion titled "Tell Me Lies Tell Me Sweet Little Lies" - http://www.tnt-audio.com/edcorner/october06.html. While I cannot offer advice on a better CDP, I think many have hinted that your current speakers and SET power may really be limited in providing the audio enjoyment that you seek for classical music.

I think the best advice is to seek out a higher power amp that really will work with your current speakers.

Just my $.02
