Top CD player wanted

[farflungstar]

Still in comms with the seller. - if it was silver and in a wooden sleeve it would be mine already. Just waiting for an answer about something then will pull trigger. Have to say if I get it it will be the ugliest bit of kit I own!

If anyone has something special they'd like to pass on now is the time to say...

Audio Research make outstanding players (from version 7 up ) it would match perfectly Reference75 you've bought or try to find Rega Isis - but you're well above 2k mark .
Above 1k I would look at Linn Akurate or Unidisk upgraded to the latest firmware but you'd need to buy spate laser pick-ups as they're obsolete ,

Bugger! Have contacted them. There's also a shanling T100 knocking about which people rave about but it's a bit Blackpool illuminations....

I'm considering going the other way back to vinyl and may even part with my Lector CDP 7 mk III which is about as good as CDPs get...

Almost. Loved mine, but my four-box version is just a smidgen better. I'm sure there are others (Rega, e.g.) which are up there in valved CDPs. Even their s/s version is highly recommended, and does come up from time to time.

I think the Shanling 100 was a rather early valved jobbie; heard one 15+ years ago. The linked ad. for the Res. Audio CDP shows Elite Audio, which I believe is an off-shoot of Audio Emotion in Scotland, an established company (my 2905 speakers came from there 5 years ago).

Hi Mike,

Good to see you here, old chap. How are tricks? Hope you're well

It's been that long, it's a wonder you remembered your password!

It's for making music, daftee [a task it performs extremely well], not an ornament!

Hey maybe you could fit some VU meters?

I've held off that opus as I know you're contemplating it and I'm not smart enough to work out how I'd stream Spotify from my iPad to it as the inputs are different than on my existing DAC. If you don't think you're going for it though, let me know.

Give me a bit to think - the Elite audio is tricked out but almost double the price and ideally I'd prefer not to spend that much. Just waiting for a response from the seller on eBay re serial number (early one's were a bit touch n go). Gimme half an hour.
