I think you should go for the meridian 588.24, still one of the best around. It has a very open and authoritative sound.If you get one try it with Cardas cables.
Upgrade from Parasound CDP 2000 ultra
I'm looking to upgrade my present CD player which is a Parasound CDP 2000 (which I like a lot) and looking to spend just over $2000 for an used, unmodded, integrated unit. One trait I like about the Parasound is that it is quiet and somewhat analog sounding. I'm intrigued by the Gamut CD 1 mark 2 which can be had for about that cost. Other's I'm considering are the following based on comments I have read:
EMC 1 UP (a bit of a stretch)
BAT VK-D5
MF Nu-Vista (or A5?)
Linn Ikemi
Cary 306
Meridian 588
I'm also intrigued by the new Marantz unit (SA11S?) but am gun shy about the noise problems I have been reading. My question is the Gamut the real deal for my price range?
