As a new member I'd appreciate some advice, as there are so many choices. I'd like to keep it under $2000, but I don't mind used or a demo. The rest of my 2ch system is 804S, Aragon Palladium +Aragon Aurum. I have a Kyocera DA-510cx which I like, but it’s dying. I have only redbook CD’s and listen to classical & jazz. Some players I’ve listened to and how they sound to me:
Ayre CX-7E $3000 Nice, but too much $$.
Arcam CD-192 $1700 Smooth, but not too detailed and open.
Arcam CD-33 $2100(demo) Similar to CD-192, but a little more detail.
Classe CDP .3 $700 (used) Not bad, maybe the best deal.
Lexicon RT-10 $2000(demo) Have not listened to it, but multiple formats & good reviews.
Naim CD5i $1800 Nice, but lacking features. A bit bright for me.
Kyocera DA-510cx na What I have now. Not bad, but also a bit bright.
Thanks for any advice,
Aptos Jeff
