CJ 17ls vs CJ 16ls Mk II


In have the opportunity to upgrade from 17ls to 16ls mk II for $3000.00. Looking for opinions on how much of an improvement to expect for the additional money. I have Thiel 3.6's, audioquest cables, CJ MF2500 amp and phillips CD player. Listen mostly to classical and some jazz.

Thanks

What price range for your CDP? I like Cary 303/200 ($3000-LIST) or Cary 306/200 ($5000-LIST). I have the 306/200 along with a CJ PF-R SS preamp and CJ Premier 11a tube amp driving Tannoy D500 speakers.
I would consider up to $5000. I have considered the Cary 306/200, Sony SCD-1 and a couple Metronome products.How do you like your Cary? What other players did you consider?
In the $5K range, you might consider used Levinson, Wadia, Accuphase, etc., all of which are excellent performers and all of which can be purchased for $5K or less here on AudioGon. There are new one-box players, both Red Book and upsamplers, that may be found at this price point with a bit of negotiation.
