Decided to change my cd player, suggestions please?
i am really in the market just to replace the cd player, at this time i do not have the inclination or intention to go fully digital with usb or wave file players, way too many cds going back years and years to be bothered to "rip" them to a music... 
Decided to change my cd player, suggestions please?
Thanks Joe, my readings had sort of confirmed the ux series was not quite up to par compared to some other Esoteric offerings even though there is a ux being offered fairly local to me.Not sure as I overly concerned on going the total digital rout...

Not quite what I was asking I think.More on the lines of would running my Krell through a dac make any appreciable difference to the Krells existing "sound" or just better to go for a differing player altogether? 
Decided to change my cd player, suggestions please?
Esoteric and Ayre are on my watch listHowever somebody early on did suggest possibility of keeping the Krell and running it through a dac.Anybody have experience with this type of upgrade, just using my player as a transport and if so what dac may...

Well, quick updateIt does indeed appear that the addition of a sub gave me just what I looking for in my room with my equipment, sure it will not be everybodies solution but I am happy with the results.I actually bought a PSB Subsonic 6i from crai...

well I was just looking at the connectors in general on ebay and they all looked like two conductor, not quite sure what rel would be doing different but time to investigate!

Yes, assuming you have the Neutrik Speakon cable that is normally used to connect the unbalanced speaker-level input of REL subs to amp outputs, and assuming the amp is not being used in bridged mode, just piggy-back the wires from that cable on...

Al, again many thanks for your time and information.At present I do not have the speakon connector for the rel but that is easily resolved, just glad to know I can then just piggy back off the Krell.a couple of the svs subs i quickly looked at did...

Another option I could consider for a sub is to get a unpowered sub and a dedicated sub amp which I could feed with a line out direct out of the ls2?Thoughts? 
Usher cp-6381, lacking in bass?
Thank you Al!Couple of thoughts here....how best to wire with speaker terminals? Can i just piggyback another speaker cable from one set of terminals on the Krell to the sub or?Also bear in mind this is just a test as the REL belongs in the ht rig...
