More than one CD player

I'd like to ask the forum how many of you out there use more than one CD player in your system (same amp or receiver) and alternate regularly and why? What do you get from doing that? I find alternating is refreshing and keeps the listening interesting. You get a different perspective on the same music from more than one CDP. So how many of you do this?

I only have one cdp(Audio Aero Capitole 24/192), but it would be intriguing to try to find a sleeper out there... either a classic (older Arcam 192 or FMJ 23T), or the latest flavor of the month from China.

However, in the grand scheme of things, I have other audio purchases I'd prioritize well before getting a 2nd cdp... upgrading my preamp, tuner and maybe move up the REL model line (Stadium or Stentor) to name a few.

What I can do is alternate between:

a) Denon A11>Benchmark DAC1 via RCA>Pre
b) Denon A11 (universal player)
c) Denon A11>Benchmark DAC1 via XLR>Power

I usually use (a), but when listening to SACDs, I switch to (b). (c) is on an odd night.

I alternate between CD's and LP's and 45's. Only one cd player, that's enough for me.

Cheers,
John
