new cd player for $1500.00?

Im in the process of doing an upgrade.
I have the Musical Fidelity A3 85W integrated, the Music
Hall CD-25 player and the new Dynuadio Focus 110 monitors.
I feel my Music Hall is the weak link in my system and
im looking to upgrade this piece.
I would appreciate any suggestions for a new cd player
in the $1500.00 price range that will provide to be
a significent sonic improvement.
I prefer more smooth, liquidy sound, not too detailed
and in your face.

Save a little money and try a Jolida JD-100, sounds like a perfect fit. Tubes can make a big difference on this machine and it has great resale. Certainly worth a try.

If you dont mind used (I realize you said "new" but I will assume you mean new to you) I strongly recommend the Resolution Audio CD55, Arcam CD33, or the Audio Aero Prima. Each has a little different flavor but all are great CDPs.

If you can bump up the budget a little... the Resolution Audio Opus 21, Exemplar Denon 2900, or Modwright's Sony 999. Different flavors here too but these are really good CDPs, IMO you'll have to spend a good deal more to gain only medest improvements.
