I am also looking to buy a new cd player.My budget is approx.$2500Cdn. Among the ones I'm considering are Musical Fidelity 3.2,Linn Genki,and perhaps the Naim 3.5. My system consists of the following. Linn LP 12 Anniversry Table with vallaha,Akito arm& Troika cartridge,Classe Ten amp,Classe Four pre-amp,Castle Howard speakers,biwired with Linn K400 cable,Arcam Alpha 6 cd player Nakamichi LX5 tape deck. every thing is wired with Transparent Audio Super interconnects.Most of the power cords are Wireworld Stratus. I prefer to listen to rock and roll , blues and stuff like the Flying Burrito Bros. I'd appreciate any and all opinions. Thanks
Hi, just a quick update. In May of last year I asked for opinions on what cd player to buy. I found the advice to be both valuable and entertaining. I auditioned a Linn Genki, Musical Fidelity 3.2 and the Arcam Cd 92.
The Linn was the best followed by the Arcam. I was surprised by the Musical Fidelity. It sounded "soft" as though everything was in pudding compared to the other two.
I wound up buying the Arcam. I got a great deal buying the stores demo player. All things being equal I would have bought the Linn but with the discount the Arcam moved to the head of the class. So far I have no complaints.
Lastly my apologies for not being courteous enough to thank everyone in a timely manner.
