I have been a Cairn Fog (with upsampling) owner for about 8 months now and really like it. It replaced an Audio Research CD2. Checkout this link.

jolida, cairn, music hall
I am looking for a cd player. Right now, considering the much talked about Jolida JD 100, the modified Music Hall cd 25, and maybe the Cairn Fog (used or without the upsampling). I'd like to stay about $1000 or under. Also need a front loading unit. Wondering if the Jolida would be as strong a compliment with the tube system as one of the SS units.
My system consists of an Audio Note M! linestage, VTL ST-85 amp and Audio Physic Spark III speakers. I tend to listen to jazz and acoustic guitar/vocals the most. Also dabbling in everything from classical to alternative to the occasional hip-hop.
I like a smooth sound, a little warm but not overly so. A strong but balanced low end and detailed, but not overly etched.
Thanks in advance. Appreciate it.
