Good Audio Dealer in San Francisco
As suggested above, I agree that The Analog Room in San Jose and Music Lovers in Berkeley are your best choices. have purchased equipment from both stores. If possible, I suggest you call both Retailers and arrange a time for your visit so they ca... 
Linn Ikemi CD Player vs. Other Lower Cost Options
Thanks for the above info. Do you have more info on Linn's universal players scheduled for later this year? 
Best sounding CD player for 6,000.
The BAT VK-D5 is very good. Other options are the Linn Ikemi, Ayre CX-7 CD player or a used Meridian 508.24. In any case, I suggest you borrow some players and listen to them in your system. cheers........ 
ayre cx-7cd player
Any new listening updates to the Ayre cx-7cd player? Since this is a brand new design, does it make sense to delay a purchase for 6-8 months? Thanks.. 
Who can repair a Resolution Audio CD-50???

Your Perfect Office System?

Any new comments on the Wadia 301 CD player? I heard it in the store but was not impressed due to poor associated equipment. I heard the Linn Ikemi vs. the Meridian 588 and the Linn sounded much better. I also compared the Linn to the Rega Jupiter... 
Resolution Audio Owners - How Do You Contact Them?
Resolution Audio products are only distributed via the factory. The CD55 model is out of production and they have a new model in the works but not yet available. I suggest you contact them again but my sense is an audition will not be possible. Yo... 
BAT VK-D5 CD Player Needed New Transport Assembly
I received my repaired BAT VK-D5 last Friday (May 10) and the new transport is working okay (to fix the error problem). I have been using it daily and every single CD played perfectly. Special thanks to BAT for the fast turn around with my repair....

Best CD player
The concept of the best CD player is a "myth". If you review the many comments on this site, you will see a wide variety of suggestions regarding what one should or should not buy. A look at the audio magazines also shows a wide variety of comment... 
Exposure 2010 CD Player XLR Coutput Connections
As per Exposure, "the 2010CD player does not have balanced audio outputs. Exposure currently have no products that utilise balanced connections, but we are constantly looking at new designs and may consider this on our products in the future". 
BAT VK-D5 CD Player sometimes does not play a CD
My BAT VK-D5 CD Player 'stopped' reading CD's over the weekend. The word "err" appeared ever time I tried loading a new CD (changing the CD placement has no impact). I called BAT and they said I need a new transport assembly. It seems the transpor... 
CD Player Recommendation
