Worth it to buy cheap, but no audition integrated

this is a tough decision. One point to add, since I am quite new at this, I really don't know what exactly I want, in fact I bet I would be happy with just about anything, so I guess buying used won't be such a big deal. I love the power of the Kandy, since IMO it offers versatility for future speaker upgrades.
Now, for the CD player, I really don't think I can hear much of a difference between CD players. I compared a sony s500 dvd, a Playstation 2, and my JVC's built in CD player, and really no matter how hard I tried they just sounded the same. Though the PS2 seemed a little more edgy and rough on the highs.
So what is a good, used price point to spend on a CD player? I've heard postive things on the Rega Planet 2000. I just want something to last for a long time until the DVD-A and SACD war is over (7-9 years?).
thanks

I hope you're kidding about "nothing wrong with that mini-system", your right though, there is nothing wrong with it, but instead it does nothing right. I'm not getting into tubes right away, I simply don't want to go used with the risk of getting bad tubes, which I know wear down much more rapidly than ss designs.

Now the question, what CD player? Roksan Kandy, or rega planet, ore creek mk43 2

Thanks Veridian.

you know, you are right. It is true that many of us lose sight of what really counts. I spend hours each day listening to music, it's just so peaceful. But there comes a time when we must all rise up against bad sound and take up arms! For we must save ourselves and usher forth an age of audio filled bliss!

haha
just joking, keep the cd player suggestions coming, I'm leaning towards an old rega planet, but it just looks so damn ugly (my opinion of course).
I'm still not convince I'm ready to take up a tube amp. I read a post about tubes blowing, etc... It would seem to add a greater cost in the long term.

Hey all, thanks for the comments. Since I am new to high end I don't really know yet what my "tastes" are in terms of the many sonic nuances that go along with different pieces of equipment. I listen to all types of music and really am just looking for a high quality system that will make my JVC-FS5000 mini-system, which I use as a tuner, amp, pre-amp, and a CD-player!!!!

Pretty crazy, right? I'm sure I would be content with about any high end system for the time being. But I probably can't go wrong with a used integrad and CD.

So in my 500$ used price range what are the specific models you would recommend for a 93 db, but somewhat bright and forward sounding set of Axiom M22Ti's. The Kandy's got some good reviews from HI-fi and Soundstage, and so I was thinking about going for the integrated, if not for the sheer power ouput, but I'm a little hesitiant on the CD player. I heard I could do better for 3-450 used. Any specific models?

Man, this audio addiction is crazy, I have spend 5 hours a day in the past week just trying to increase my audio lexicon! I'm a poor college student a need for audio bliss.
Help!
