My brother has been looking for a Dynaco CD-V Pro for over two years now and we can't find one. I have also seen others post wanted ads for this specific model. As far as tubes in the Analog section of a CD player goes, they can make a WORLD of difference. While i am not really a "tube man" by nature, i will say that it should be REQUIRED for everyone thinking about buying SS digital gear to sit down and listen to a good tube based CD player or DAC. It is an ear opener to say the least. Sean >
Has anyone heard Dynaco tube CD player
I am still trying to make a decision on a CD player to replace my 12 yr. old unit. From what I have read we seem to be in a transition period in the digital realm (HDCD,SACD,DVDA etc)I was going to spend more but now am considering a less expensive alternative for the time, ie Dynaco CDV-2 @ $400. It gets a 5 on Audioreview. Has anyone heard it? How does it compare with others in the $700-800 price range? Are tube players good or bad? Again, thanks for your help.
