Brando, do yourself a favor and listen to a Rega Planet. I would say "hands down" this is the best player under a grand. Very musical and detailed without taxing your ears. The new model retails for $950, but you can find a demo or used one for around $500. In addition to the sound, it couldn't be easier to use. Flip the lid, toss on a disc. There is no mechanical transport or suspension (which introduce error in the playback or can break with use) in the traditional sense as the suspension is the feet of the player. The player also scans back and forth between tracks faster than any other player I have used. I used one for a while before upgrading to my current rig (over $3,000) and could very easily live with it again.
