Mephisto II, Sim Moon Eclipse How do they compare?


I'm curious, What are your thought's on these two players? I am looking to get a dedicated CD player (currently using a Pioneer DVD player). I want something High End, but I don't want to have to spend $6000-$8000 to get something either. So for this reason I have been looking at used players. The two that really caught my eye are the Sim Moon Eclipse, and Audiomeca Mephisto II. How do these players stack up? What are your thoughts? Any input will be most appreciated.

Camboinc,

If I find one with the PSX power supply at a really good price that will be the way to go. But if I see an Eclipse with the standard power supply in excellent condition at a price I just can't refuse......

Yes, that Frank is great. Bose and Mattel, he cracks me up. So that's why he picks on you, as he's a Bose enthusiast as well :) Seriously, he has one awesome setup. Those speakers are absolutely beautiful, and all that exotic gear really compliments them. It's definitely one of the nicest systems I've ever seen. When I saw the pix all I could do was drool :)

Thanks Brian for all your help, I really appreciate it.
Transporter,

Geeez, you again! Only kidding :) Thanks for chiming in. Buy the Sim huh? Yeah the Sim seems like the logical choice, but, it's a tough call as both are first rate players. But I'm strongly leaning towards the Sim. Thanks for the post, It's great! Gotta love it.
Gator,
good luck and let me know when you score one. meanwhile, i'll keep hoity toity frank in line. enjoy the music, bro. bri
hoity toity? This coming from Bose Rules Boy? Mr. Snobby Bobby himself! Hey HifiGator, ask "bri" about his 8-track set-up! It's a killer! The only probem is that his "Best of the Cowsils" tape keeps skipping. I told him to tape a penny to the 8-track tape the way he did his "Close & Play" tonearm - that should do the trick!

I thnk the reason the 8-track in his lime green Pinto (or is it a Vega?) doesn't have this problem is cuz he has curb feelers on it and a pair of fuzzy dice to ward off the audio gremlins!!!
Camboinc,

Thanks Brian, I will definitely let you know when I score one. Yep, gotta keep that Frank in line :) Cheers!
