The best CD Player for the money

Markone: If you want to see the true potential of the 301, spend an extra $1600 through GNSC. Its performance will surpass a standard Wadia 861se. They perform alot of critical damping, rip out alot of unecessary circuits which actually degrade performance and add some critical components to maximise the design which is alot better than its $3650 price tag shows.

I heard that the person jazze has changed his name and still is a member.I know he is from New York because I bought something from him a while back.Anyway I just thought that you may want to know this.

I tried to upgrade and switching CDP at the sub $2000 price range from Rega Planet, Jupiter, Alchemist, MArantz CD-12 mod, Rotel 981, Audio Analog but they all have a something good and something bad which make you feel like to upgrade when you owned them for a few months.... so I decide to move up the ladder to the $3000 or over CDP. Here I tried the Krell 300cd (the newer silver version), Wadia 301, Metronome CD-2V Signature but I settled with the NuVista. It is just so much more musical than the Wadia 301. The Wadia is my second favourite but once you have it compared side by side, all my three friends (have diff taste) agreed the NuVista should make music and better pace. Hard to tell in words, it is not faster or slower, but the pace is better and more like a Master playing live music and the Wadia is like the student playing the music...... For just about $3000 you can a used NuVista at a significant saving these days -- a MUST TRY!!! The NuVista is a very very heavy CDP and very well-built at this price.

I'm going to have to throw another curve. The best cd player FOR THE MONEY is the incredibly low priced Liteon 2001 ($153). It also happens to be the best for the money DVD, DVDA, DVDR, DVD anything, MP3, MP4 player.

Turn the page, it's a new era.

Mural: Ill agree here. Ive got a computer drive that has a nice signal output, going into a great pair of headphones with a good quality headphone amp is an enjoyment to say the least.
