Crazy to buy a 17 year old CD Player?


My ARC CD2 just died...I think the laser finally gave up the ghost.  Any how I've got thousands of red book CDs in my library and need a replacement player.  I'm thinking an ARC CD 3MKII or the Mark Levinson 390S.  Am I crazy to be thinking this?  Got a budget of around $2000.00.  My system, though dated, is made up of higher end stuff: ARC 25 pre amp, ARC VT 150 mono amps, VPI TNT IV, Wilson Witts, all running through Transparent Reference (Balanced).

What is your budget ?  Mike at Audio Archon turned me on to the 
Lumin steaming player .you can stream or has plugged directly in 
The  Lumin D-1 is exceptionally well balanced, if you buy the outboard
LINEAR tube Audio PS it takes it to a Very high level. It will please over 90% of Audiophiles even many of  the doubters That never heard it.for under $2400,with Super PS.it does most of  Everything pretty well.
At least give it a read, then a listen.
