The best CD Player for the money

Jazze 22,
I have the Sony DVP 9000ES and use as a back up.
My main system is:
Proceed PMDT Transport (Works Flawlessly)
Proceed AVP2 +6 Pre/Pro
Bryston 4BSST
Nautalis 802's
Transparent PowerBank XL
Transparent Reference Balanced MM interconnects
Transparent Ultra MM Speaker Cable

I read some of the posts and decided to due a comparison of the PMDT and Sony using Jeff Lorber - "The Definitive Collection"...I also listen to Jazz. The comparison was short lived. As one said, the Sony is lean and sterile...very little low end detail. The PMDT was transparent with great extension both ways. High quality components are worth the extra investment, although I to search for the nirvana that keeps me coming back for more. Like sand through your fingers.
Good Searching.

Try the Trl Sony 2000es. Very Musical and a great price!!

McIntosh MCD 205, the best you can do without buying the DAC and the transport seperately. Will make a CD sound as good as a record. Also holds 5 CDs.

I've got to agree with Alpha3, the TRL/Sony C2000ES is very good. VERY good. And less than $900 delivered!

I've heard their Marantz SA-14 mod and it is much better, but more money, too.

You won't be disappointed with the TRL C2000ES. I'm very happy with mine.
