I had a MH cd25.2, and I never had any trouble with mine (although Grinnell isn't the first I've heard about who did). Very transparent sounding player, and the transport was silent (on mine, anyway). I listened to the NAD and thought it was equally good (with a different, fuller sound), but I could hear the disc spinning from five feet away. Don't know about the Denon (I've heard their older players were excellent), but the MH was loads better than my Rotel RCD-950 (I'm sure the 1072 is a better player, though). Hope this helps.
Music Hall CD25.2 v NAD 545 or even Rotel 1072
Has anyone compared the Music Hall CD25.2 and the NAD 545?? How about the Rotel RCD 1072?? How would these player compare to say an older Denon 1650AR?? I am using a Rotel 990 and 995 pre power (for now ) Analysis plus speaker cable and ICs and old Polk RTA 12Bs Keith
