CD Advice

Thinking about getting a cd player again had a cambridge 840c before which was quite good but would like to get something better. My budget is $3000.00 and am willing to buy used if need be. Considering any of the Modwright modded players or perhaps an ear acute or ayon cd player. Have 1000i Final electrostatic speakers and a Ref 3 preamp with an old Nakamich Pa7 for amp. SACD player would be nice but am more concern about quality of cd the most. All suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

i really would try and get a audio research cd 3 mk 11 for around 2300 usd , i really think they are very smooth and detailed and built extremely well , also if there is ever a problem they would fix it .

I suggest you audition the Ayre CX-7eMP CD player. I own this piece and like it very much. see http://www.ayre.com/cx7e.htm

If you can, I suggest you listen to the Denon 100th anniversary SACD player. This player is warm, detailed, also plays high resolution. There weren't many made, I've been waiting for feedback from others before I commit (just to make sure that it's as good as I think, I guess I don't trust my ears.) It's $2500 new.

I suggest auditioning and acquiring a Jolida JD-100 at around $500.00 (a little less $$ on audiogon.com if you're lucky enough to happen upon a great deal), and then upgrade the tubes, power cord and feet. The JD-100 is an easy-to listen-to CD player, even without the mods.

Tpreaves looking for more midrange detail and better midbass than the cambridge had.
