It is unprofessional and unethical for the importer of this line to make such a recommendation without disclosing his financial interest.

And to guarantee it will outperform all others no less.

Shame on you.

Surprise yourself, purchase a $60 refurb Sony 595 from Sony Style and see if 3-4K is needed. This is a fearsome test of your ears, and how open minded you can be. Go where no audiophile dares to go, cheap.

It's spelled "guarantee."

thanks for the suggestions but so far none look interested.

Tripper, Tent Labs is a kit, not a ready-to-go player.

AnhKhoa, please tell us what unique technology does Gamut use that makes their CD player outperform all other Cd players!!

Goone, I like very much the McIntosh MCD301 player, I believe you can get one used for about U$ 3K.
Regarding your picks, IMO the best by far is the ARC CD7, a great option if you find it at a good price.

I second the ARC CD7 recommendation; used and in excellent condition, you might be able to get one either at the upper end of your stated range or a little above.
