CD Player with best bass??

Let me throw this one out there. I have a system which is great in the mid and upper frequencies but a little light in the lower. I don't want artificial bass but want to make sure that I'm squeezing every little bit out of my CDs as possible. I'm looking for a player that has a full and clean bottom end. I have a Cary 300bSEI and a pair AKG K1000 phones. Based on my research to date, I'm thinking Cary. Any other ideas (Budget is $2k used). Thanx. I'm countin on you guys. Don't make me buy a subwoofer now...

I would hope any CD player I would buy would faithfully reproduce what had been recorded on the CD. I do not want it to add or subtract anything from the sound.

This is true of any source gear I would purchase.

If I wanted more bass I would be looking first at the speakers or the headphones, then the amplifier or headphone amplifier, and then just maybe even (oh my gosh!!) adding audiophile class subwoofer if I was happy with the rest of the system.

Even a cable change might add more bass for you.

Happy listening.
