pick me a cd player please-3k to 4k budget

Please add the Ayre CX-7e CD player to your list. I purchased the Ayre CX-7e CD player to go with my Ayre AX-7e Integrated amp. Breakin time is 100+ hours so the unit is still "cooking". It sounds good with my ProAC 2.5 speakers but really needs more "cooking" time.

Heck put away your 3-4K. Just put up 1K for the Cayin 17. If anyone thinks they have a madel that can beatout the 17 I'd like to hear it. Excluding Jadis of course.

The Krell SACD Standard offers Reference quality CD sound + SACD playback. Last month's TAS article left no doubt that this is a very high quality CD Player that will also play SACDs. If you listen to Jazz & Classical, you'll be able to appreciate the benefits of SACD. The build quality and looks of this Player are first-rate, take it from one very happy owner!

at that Price range its unbeatable - had mine for over 6 months and its just stunning - just keeeps getting better!!!! Sold my Electrocomapniet for it!!!!

thks for ideas all,i went with a RA Opus 21 Ref. mod by GNSC.that should be ok for my little system.Steve's gave me a good deal..thks
