| Best redbook CD player OK Mrtennis, it makes sense and probably is in the future for many of us. The question remains how to accomplish this. The whole thing about mixing a computer with high end stereo makes me queasy for some reason.Are you saying you want the Lector ... | |
| Best redbook CD player You know John, I completely agree. If it were not for the fact that I am setting up a second system I would probably get a new phono stage or tonearm. I still want a CDP for my main rig, and my 2d system will be CD only (because it is for my work ... | |
| Best redbook CD player Thanks all. I current have a Meridian 507 24 bit CDP. Would anyone not conceed that the Resolution Audio Opus 21 would blow it away? I am thinking of using the Meridian for a second system, and maybe trying the RA in my main rig. I am 75-90% vinyl... | |

| A favorite Oliver Messiaen recording Yes, I have the Berhoff too on vinyl, which is very emotive and quite articulate. I also like the Eduard Brunner (on teldec) and the Walter Boeykens (on harmonia mundi) which I only have on CD, so I don't listen to them that much. The performances... |
