I am sure you saw it and if it can be bought for a good price you would not take too much of a hit if you find something better. I have heard the .3 and like it but not more than my Arcam 8SE. I prefer the Arcam 9 cdp to both but its not in my budget. The Arcam FMJ has had both great and average reviews - another potential choice. Also, Arcam is purported to be bringing out new units in 2001. The new Sony 777es (SACD) is in your price range and is reported as playing regular cds very well - upside is SACD. You can also find a few Resolution units going used in your price range - super cdps. A little more info to cloud your judgement...
Classe CD player CDP .3 a good value?
At around $1500, a new Classe CDP .3 CD player seems to be an excellant value. When I say "value" I'm comparing Classe to other excellant manufacturers such as Sonic Frontiers. I'm trying to find a new CD player in the $2000 range while avoiding products with high prices and questionable value. Any opinions?
