I've auditioned the Cambridge Audio 640C with the Totem Rainmakers and was very impressed. The sound and build quality are far beyond its price in my opinion and experience. I have no experience with Cal, but you should see the 640C in person and give it a try with your Rainmakers.
Keep the cal audio or buy a new cd player?
I have a Cal Audio cl10 that needs repair (I think the laser, probably $400 worth). Is it worth fixing or should I invest in another? I can only spend $500 to $700, at most. I'm wondering if there is some newer equipment that might be comparable to the cl10. I've heard that the new Cambridge 640c is a good buy. But I'd be interested in any suggestions from people who have had experience with the cl10 (are they problematic?) I listen to classical music and jazz (acoustic instruments, as I am a classical musician-composer). A single disc player is fine.
My other equipment: Totem Rainmaker speakers, AMC 3030 tube integrated amp.
Thanks for any help,
