There are some good choices here and also the Sony 777ES which would give you the SACD capabilty - the Adcom 750 which is a very good and well priced unit - but the Sound Broker is advertising a factory reconditioned Krell 30i with warranty - I own a 30i and it sold for 5k - it is a great player with digital inputs and outputs for upgrade and it is the best transport you can find other than the Electrocompaniet EMC which is basically the same transport - the remotes for each control each other. It is a top loader and built solid - I also use a Mcintosh C42 with a 352.
CD Player Recommendation?
I've begun to upgrade and am looking for a 2k or under CD player. I don't care to get too fancy but I want something that will keep me happy for the next few years or until the sacd vs. dvd-a vs. hdcd thing gets settled. Not a chance I'm going to spend any more than fifteen bucks on a recording unless it's vintage vinyl and something I can't live without. So far I'm running a new McIntosh MC352 w/ the C42 preamp with Acoustic Zen connectors on out to a pair of Talon Khorus's via Acoustic Zen Satori cables. I'm pretty dang happy so far but I'd bet my old Magnavox CDB-650 would sound better hooked up to my garage or bedroom system. I think I want to have balanced outputs but don't care if they have analogue capabilities. Used is fine if it isn't more than one year old. Any recommendations would be truly appreciated.
