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.
I considered the AH! Njoe Tjoeb 4000 but when I came across the Anthem CD1 on Audiogon and having read a good number of excellent reviews along with the six-disc capability plus its solid build (25 lbs), there was no doubt I would go for the CD1. At some point, I will get the outboard upscampler and swap its tube for a better one.
My personal opinion is you can't beat the Linn IKEMI for the money; this CD is ridiculously priced for the value and compares with top high-end equipment from most prestigious brands without a flinch when it comes to hearing the music, balance and livelihood. Try it with a good cable like the Cardas GC Reference and listen!!!
That Parasound CDP-2000 Ultra with its CEC transport and great DAC was the best deal "used" of course,,,for about 600 bucks...and HDCD, if you care about that.
