Hello, I dont have the set up you have but, my favorite is the AMR CD77(latest version). The Marantz SA-7S1 and the Playback Designs MPS-5(pricey). Your Cary is pretty good and so is the AA. This is the deal, I like both tube and solid state. It should'nt really matter, its all about the music. A well designed product, should get close to the music. Dont get pulled in the wrong direction and forget about the music. One more good player, the EAR Acute. Take care, All the best.
To ARS Sonum/Merlins owners - Which CD player ?
Hi all,
Since we have pretty much same set up (Filarmonia + Merlin)
What is your best digital front end ?
Should a tube-base CD be too much ...tuby?
FYI: I currently using a Cary 306/200, was thinking to try AA Capitole, Raysonic 168, Ayon CD2 (all tube base)
Please post your comments
Thanks
Thuan
