Hey, thanks for the advice! I was hoping the upgrade to the CD93 would be $400 or less. I will keep shopping around. What can I get in a used CDP for under $1000 that significantly bests the CD73? I can't say that I like or don't like the Arcam sound-the CD73 is really the first entry-level CDP I have had in my system. I have been told that more expensive CDP's are worth the $, and also that models that are higher in price than the CD73 are minimally better and the $ could be better spent elsewhere. What do you think?
