I recently got very lucky and found a preowned Audio Note CD 3.1x/II. HEAVEN!
There is a used AN CD 4 on another market site.These are pure Redbook CD players.
I do second the Marantz Ruby or SA-10 recommendations.
Time For a CD Player Upgrade
I've been using a Rega Saturn Mk 2. I recently upgraded my turntable to the Mark Levinson 5105 w/ the Ortofon Quintet Black S. In comparison my CD's are sounding overly bright. Any thoughts on a comparable upgrade to my CD listening? My budget is about $4000-5000, new or used. The Hegel Viking looks interesting. Any recommendation for an upgrade will be appreciated.
