Ruminations On CD Players
After multiple factory rebuilds, I'm ready to replace my twenty year old Arcam CD-73 CD player. I've looked through lists of recommended CD players in the $2000 range, and have noticed that some are all-inclusive while others have separate transports and DACs. Other than ease of replacement, what are the benefits of having the transport and DAC separate? Any recommendations on CD players in this price range? I only have music CDs so don't need anything that can do more than that.
Thanks,

Some of the chatter (which I highly respect) on Compact Disc and her future survival after all this time boggles the mind. Happens to be my preferred format since its conception. Yeah, those Redbook. Besides, if one angles them sunlight just right … “blinded by the light.” @nonoise we share something important in common. In fact, two out of three … not bad of an average if ya asked me. |
I personally disagree here. It’s not so much the tactile feel (save for LP’s) as is the ease of use, “quality” playback, and keeping Record Stores (what’s left) in business. Half of their showroom floor is devoted for such cause, obviously. And if one doesn’t find what they’re looking for “Spin” is more then obliged special ordering for customers needs. I’ve no quarrels paying more at certain times for the greater good. Spin Records, Carlsbad San Diego. |
