can i improve my system with a better cd player?
Yes a player and its either internal or external DAC will can make a big difference. Let us know the rest of your system and then it will be easier to recommend something synergistic. 
Audio Horizons TD 3.1 svt
I feel, that if Joseph built it and approved it, its got to be terrific - congratulations. AH has a tremendous commitment to excellent sound with the expertise and experience to back it up. 
Best CD player under $25000.
Ayon CD5s is the best I have heard way under 25K. Second choice would be the Meridian 808.3 
Why Not Return the Favor?
Dan Great looking and I bet sounding system, reflecting a lot of care. I do post mine. It is a little vulnerable but worth it for the pleasure of getting comments. It helps when one is in rural area to feel part of an audio community and its suppo... 
Ayon Audio CD-5 versus CD-5s
Akk congratulations on your purchase. I am still in my audition period with the CD5s and am loving what I hear, but boy - it takes awhile. Didn't begin to show its real potential until 50-100 hours , and now is blossoming at about 150 hours. 
Warm CD player for older CDs with digital glare?
I too was facing the same question. In my system (live room and solid state amps) I auditioned the Meridian 808.3 intrigued by the apodsing filter as well. Meridian was well made and sounded fabulously realistic on fabulous CD's, but on steely or ... 
How do you listen to new music?
I am surprised by how many listen first in the car. One of my greatest pleasures is to listen the first time with full attention over the good stereo, savoring all the new sound and creativity - unless it is terrible, but even then I listen throug... 
Aragon or Marsh amps?
I had the Aragon 8008bb for many years and liked many of its qualities. It was well built, super reliable and well reviewed but by now may be getting long in the tooth and subject to some issues with aging.

Anyone interested in the Audio Horizons would benefit from reading the 1000+ posts on the AH thread for one of the most thorough discussions of any piece of equipment on the gon. It is praised highly. It does benefit from tube rolling, but is grea...

Just seeing this post. I have the AH 2.1 updated to 2.2. Neither AH version is analytic, rather they are mellow and sweet and dynamic. and I am running into Nuforce V3SE's and prior to this this Nuforce V2SE. But I do have a sweet front in using N...

Would this room work?
Thanks for all the input. Located a space in the basement 16X18 which would work better, but then we passed on the house due to other issues. Did learn a lot that will help in evaluating other spaces. 
Would this room work?
Well, I went back a re-measured:length is 17' 11", width is 13'7", side knee walls are 44" high then slope to a 4 foot wide flat mid line ceiling that is 8' high and runs parallel to the 17' 11'' walls. Room is carpeted over trusses. Walls are 2X6...
