| good CD player with variable output? believe it or not an old Adcom 575 has attenuators and can be had for less than $200. The sound is not bad. | |

| Philips DVD/SACD 1000 player,any good? Acoustic Sounds is having a sale on these. | |
| multi cd players I think that the new SONY 775 or 222ES multiplayers are about the biggest bargain there is. They have great CD performance and throw SACD into the bargain. Plus, for a few $ they can be upgraded with sensible modifications.See www.sacdmods.comenjoy! | |
| "Used"Revel F-30 or AP's Virgo II: Better Value? go for the aps. | |
| CDP with "holographic" sound for less than 1000? try the inexpensive SONY SACD players. ES versions especially. $ less than a grand. | |
