recommendations for a sub $2000 cdp


Hi

I'm looking to upgrade my current RAM modded Esound E5 player.
I'm in the market for a unit up to $2000 (used or new) and looking for recommendations.

How about a used cary 303/300 ?

my current setup - JRDG 201 amps (also shanling sp-80 for tube)/lector zoe pre/usher 6371 speakers.

All responses are welcome.

I have a Cary 303/300 and like it very much. It is a very musicial and harmonically rich player with good tight bass characteristics. Plus I can fine tune the sound on the tube output side by rolling tubes (which I've done).

The player was discontinued 1/1/09 and there are several on AG in your price range. If my CD player disappeared one day, I'd replace it with another 303/300. For $1800-$2200 they are a good value ($4000 MSRP).

My 2 cents.
