I recommend the Electrocompaniet CD player! I have the Mcitnosh C2200 and MC 2102 tubed components and the Electrocompaniet EMC-1 CD player. Before that I had the MA6900. The EMC-1 is a great, great CD player and matches well with the Mcintosh components. The C2200 will be a definate improvement, but for now the EMC-1 will offer a lot of bang initially and I think you'll be happy with that purchase for a while and can delay the C2200.
Preamp or CD Player for Best Sonic Improvement
Hello,
I'm new to this forum. I have been considering an upgrade for my system & have come up with the following options.I have not being able to make up my mind yet so i shall very much appreciate any suggestions & comments.
(1) Upgrade my pre to a Mac TUBE C2200. ( I will only consider Mac for now )
(2) Upgrade my source to either Linn Ikemi or electrocompaniet EMC1UP.
Either way i will be upgrading my source at some point but right now i'm only interested in the option which will give me the best sonic improvement TODAY as i will not be able to upgrade again for sometime(at least for 2 years).I have to say that i will prefer option 1,the TUBES, if it can give me the best sonic improvement for the next 2 years till i can afford a better source.Is this correct or should it be vise versa ????
My sys - Linn Genki CDP,Mac MA6900,TDL Reference Studio Monitors(18Hz-20Khz),Transparent Cables
Thanks a lot for the replies,
