new cd player for $1500.00?


Im in the process of doing an upgrade.
I have the Musical Fidelity A3 85W integrated, the Music
Hall CD-25 player and the new Dynuadio Focus 110 monitors.
I feel my Music Hall is the weak link in my system and
im looking to upgrade this piece.
I would appreciate any suggestions for a new cd player
in the $1500.00 price range that will provide to be
a significent sonic improvement.
I prefer more smooth, liquidy sound, not too detailed
and in your face.

I listened the Rega Apollo and thought it was outstanding for the price. It was better than anything below 2k that I have listened to in the past. The Sim Equinox ($2.2k) was slightly better. The Apollo is much better than the highly regarded Rotel 1072. Good luck.
I agree with Eldarado regarding the Rega Apollo. At $995.00 retail it really delivers the music. I absolutely love mine. Highly recommended. Good luck in your search.
Musical Fidelity A308 CD player should be just what you are looking for.

Eldarado, have you done a direct comparison between the new Rega and the 1072?
Yes I have. Spent about 1.5 hours comparing. They were pretty close to the same quality in the bass region but, the Apollo was better in every other area.
You might want to check out a modded Sony dvp-ns900v by TRL for less than $1500. I just got mine and the results are stunning. It just blew away my modded Phillips SACD 1000 in every aspects.
