I AM IN THE PROCESS OF BUYING A CD PLAYER AND I DONT KNOW WHICH WAY TO GO.WITH SO MANY TO CHOOSE FROM I WANT TO PURCHASE SOMETHING GOOD BUT I DONT WANT TO SPEND 10,000 EITHER.
Subarguru, Sorry not in real time here: pace, rhythym and timing, I guess. Well, I have trouble with the concept at any rate. I still can't figure out s/w though. I should be working right now, so goodbye for now.
Pbb, I know what you mean. Took me a while to understand "running a HT PC/SPM XLR CDP/Pre for a nice tight sound" !...sounds that way, huh? Can't help you with S/W off-hand, 'cept in my other world it's steering wheel, of course.
Re the ARCAM's PRaT, I will back off a bit and state that my results were with the thinner chassis'd ARCAM 9, and WITHOUT an iso shelf. Sticking a Neuance or Rollerblocks under the FM23 may really get it to boogie? Good luck.
If you can find a (now discontinued, I believe) Sony SACD 333ES, jump on it. Add a set of Black Diamond Racing cones underneath, and you've got truly listenable digital sound with the benefit of SACD capability. No, it's not the be-all end-all product, but it's VERY good, and I heard a rumor that you can get them on closeout at Best Buy for like $400. $60 on top of that for the BDR cones, and you're in business. Good luck!
the cambridge 500se is an excellent choice.it has a updated 24 bit 192khz dac.very airy and defined.if you shop around [audiolab] you can get it delivered for about 400$
