Best Cd Player For Around 3000

I have some similar stuff, a Proceed AVP and B&W N804s. I use a Meridian 508.24 for CD. If you can find one used I highly recommend it.

I second Bwhite with the EMC-1 24/192, search this forum and you'll know what were talking about. The player seems to do everything right. Happy Hunting.

I once heard a demo of the Arcam FMJ(2000). Then they substituted the Linn Ikemi(3600). There was no comparison. I didn`t expect to hear any differences but it was easy to hear them. It went from adequate to WOW. You might want to check it out
