Need advice for CDP selection


I need some helpful advice on cdp selection for my system. I have read reviews on Accuphase, EMC, Wadia, Krell, Audio Aero, Sony SCD1 etc. and they all seem to be contender's. I have not had the opportunity to audition any other cdp's with a Krell system except a Krell. Anyone have any recommendations?

resolution audio will allow you to demo the opus 21, which will connect directly to you amp and has a built in volume control, for 30 days for free. (except shipping charges if you decide not to keep it)

I have read some threads and a review that complained about the clearly audible whine from the CD mechanism on the Opus. Any comments about this from Opus owners?
yes, when the cd is spinning you can hear it. just barely, though, and only at very close distances. if my cat is purring on my lap with the volume on mute, i can't hear it. if the music is playing at all, you absolutely can't hear it, even during silent passages.
Hey Bill, I recognized your screen name from our earlier talks on the subject. I think you can probably guess which side of the fence I fall on (EMC-1)! For other's knowledge, WVICK and I had established a deal for the purchase of my EMC-1 mk2 when ultimately I decided to keep it and declined to sell. WVICK was gracious enough to permit the accomodation. Anyway, I wholeheartedly endorse the EMC-1, however I will add that the Accuphase player is very nice indeed. I just preferred the musicality, bass response and control, and smooth top end of the Electro in my system. Personally at present I am curious about a modded Shanling t-100. The ad for the mod (which runs $700?) suggests that it elevates the player to a level competitive with any other piece (a bit of a bold statement) at any price (even bolder). I have heard the std Shanling running tube stage out and thought it had a very natural, effortless presentation. Not too syrupy a tube stage. Perhaps the warmth in that stage might be something to look at. I haven't read the above responses, but I can tell you that there are several threads herein that compare the players or some of the ones listed and these may be a good reference point for you. Best regards, and good luck to you Bill whatever route you should choose. Makofkalaw (Dave)
