Check out a used Accuphase 75DP. They listed at 10K. There have been four or five listed in AudioGon the past three weeks from $3500-4250. They're sold. Nuff said.
The best CD player with volume control
I own an ARC LS5III and have for the last three years. I had always planned to include more than just a cd player into my system. It hasn't happened. I am considering on selling the ARC and running direct. I have made to many mistakes in the past. I can spare about $5,000. Can it be done?
