My last Integrated Amp: $5-10,000?
I love my Boulder 866 with built-in DAC.  It’s a bit above your price point but worth a listen if you can stretch.

Pro-Ject makes several I think.   
Sound Quest and Granite Audio Tube CD Players
Zero issues with mine either.  I’ve had it since July.   
Sound Quest and Granite Audio Tube CD Players
I have no current info, but I for years I owned and enjoyed the Granite 657 tube output CD player. I preferred it in my system to a Meridian 508.24 and an Oppo 105.  I ran it direct or via a Supratek Syrah pre into a Spectron Musician III and VonS... 
Differences the Project RS2 Transport and the (newest) Jay's Audio CD2 Mk 3
Flescher, someone did compare and wrote about it in one of the recent Project or Jays threads.  They preferred the Project as I recall.  I have the Project and like it very much.   
Suggest your most desired MSRP $1,500-$3,000 Stand Mount for a Shootout.
I second Sioux’s suggestion of the LSA-10 Statements.  I have found them to sound balanced throughout their range.  Also, they do better with lower frequencies than many stand-mount speakers.  Lovely cabinet and finish.  I haven’t personally heard... 
Jay’s Audio CD2-Mk3 or PS Audio PST?
Mofojo, I have quite a few CDs dating back to the early 80s that show wear and tear and the Pro-Ject has read them without problems. Over the years I’ve had players that skipped, and would then clean the disc to get a better read, but this hasn’t ... 
Aqua 'La Diva' ($9k) or Gryphon 'Ethos' ($39k) versus. Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 T ($3k)?
Notlistening, ha!  I still drive an R32 I bought in 2004 and was thinking exactly the same thing.  I also own the project.  But… I’d rather have the Porsche and the Gryphon, apart from having to pay for them.  Very happy with the R32 and the project  
Audio GD R8 MK2 DAC
I’ve purchased several items from Walter over the years, including as recently as a month ago.  I’ve been very happy with his speed and service, and with the quality of the gear, each time.   
Reviewing the fabulous Silversmith Fidelium Speaker Cables
I’m obliged to the OP for being so effervescent he spurred me to do some research, read reviews, etc.  I’ve been very happy with my fidelium silversmith cables.  Cheers.   
black cat 110 digit aes/ebu vs snake river boomslang aes/ebu vs kimber orchid aes/ebu
Kully560, I think Teajay uses the Black Cat as his reference and recommends it.   He steered me that direction when I was looking for a cable for my RS2 transport.  I ended up with a cheaper Wireworld cable that I’m happy with — 1.5m Wireworld Mic... 
A phenomenal new CD transport-Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 transport
I second charles1dad's appreciation for Underwood HiFi.  I bought my Pro-Ject (as well as a number of other items over the years) from Walter.  In each case, the transaction has been excellent -- service, speed, etc.  
A phenomenal new CD transport-Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 transport
essrand, something like that happened to me years ago with the Supratek Syrah.  I took the plunge and ended up being very happy that I'd listened to the buzz.  And now I'm happy I listened to Teajay and others re the Pro-Ject.  But I definitely un... 
Advice needed re: new CD player purchase
Hey Jereboam, 2 months ago, I was in a similar situation— several thousand cds, no strong desire to stream, and sound that was good but….   My player was an Oppo 105.   After reading Teajay’s review here of the newish Pro-Ject RS2 CD Box transport... 
Transports: Simaudio, Pro-ject, Jays
OP, I have the project.  It sounds fantastic, but it doesn’t read the SACD layer.
