the best CD player under $1k?


been thinking about buying a new CD player and I am considering the Rotel 971, Sony XA20ES, Marantz 6000SE,Denon 1650AR, and the Cambridge Audio D500SE. Any thoughts about these or other good CD players under a thousand.

You may want to wait a little longer before making any purchase decision. Currently other than the $5500.00 Pioneer transport there is nothing available with both SACD and DVD-A. Therefore whatever you purchase is essentially already outdated. Check out the Perpetual Technologies P1A. It will upgrade all of your current CD's to 24/96 quality. It also will correct your speakers phase and frequency response and room distortions with future software upgrades. It has received two excellent reviews in the January 2001 editions of Stereophile and Home Theater magazine. In about a year there should be some multi-format players to choose from at reasonable prices and whatever format wins you will be ready to move forward.
