A friend of mine just got back from Phoenix AZ where he auditioned a NAIM CD5i CD player. The player sells for $2700 US and is an entry level version of a NAIM CD player that sells for $24,000 US. A review on the Internet favorably compared the latter NAIM player to the Linn Sondek CD12 player that sells for $40,000 US. Is there no end to High-End audio?
We are putting together a new stereo system based on a Rotel amplifier and pre-amplifer and we are looking forward to auditioning the Rotel RCD-1072 CD player. Is the Linn Sondek player really 40 times "better" than the Rotel player? How are we to deal with the range of prices in High-End audio?
