The best CD Player for the money

picked it up new for $3,000 and I like it alot

Well, it may be a bit older, but I think it sounds DAMN good for the money. Especially since it can be bought used for under $400. Pioneer Elite PD-65. Hell, many audio stores had em in their listening rooms for a reference player...I have one and I think it sounds great!

Genki or naim 3.5 I have auditioned both Cdps. Genki is sneaky good and I believe includes Linn interconnects. Great value! Naim is a very bold player. I own a genki and the Naim CDX.

Uhhh....the guy started this thread like 2 1/2 yrs ago. Ya reckon he's still shopping???
If so how bout the Sherwood Newcastle CD980? You can get it for around $150 - $200 used...dual Burr Browns, variable output......ooops! Wrong website! Sorry folks....I thought I was on cheaphometheater.com. Didn't mean to offend anybody! Great cd player though!
