Mrtennis made a VERY good point but people can give recommendations then you have to choose based on your taste and several other factors that are important to you.
Raysonic

Denon
Onkyo
Rega
just to name a few that I have experience with, are priced right, and sound good to me. research first though
there is no best cd player for the money because there is no best cd player. this maxim applies to all components.
the designation "best", encompasses many variables. the variables and the priority attached to each is a subjective judgement.
without absolute standards/criteria, there is no best anything.
it would be better to use the words "preferred" or "favorite".
i think people looking for guidance should be very careful about following pronouncements as to the "best" anything.
