I would recommend a used consonance 2.2. I use one with an ASL tube amp and Klipsch speakers in a second system. Very refined sound for the money. Absolutely reliable and I like its looks. Although tubed, it is clean, fast, extended and transparent- shines in tubed based systems. If you are looking for a more midrangey CDP to add body, the current quad CDP is another to consider.
What cd for $1000 is best for this system?
My friend has the following system and has asked me for recommendations for cd player for $1K. Used at $1K is what I'm asking about. If you feel that he should spend less given his equipment, that's good. I have been told that the cornerhorns can have the crossovers upgraded and that improves them a lot. Is that true and what does it cost?
