CDP Upgrade

As Baranyi said
"but it was ultimately replaced by the TRL modified DVP NS900V. This player is really good. I know two people who have replaced over $10,000 units with this player."

The Sony/TRL is amazing!

I also had a Rotel 1072, then I went to a Marantz 8260. The Marantz was a step up but still a sub $1k digital player. Someone told me to check out getting it modded. That led me to TRL. Paul (at TRL) said if you want something truly special find a Sony DVP NS900V and send it to us.

Well...best money I've EVER spent on audio. I haven't owned a turntable for years but the Sony/TRL sounds like analog to me.

Bring the wife along and include her in the process. Years ago I had a Parasound 100 player and auditioned Mark Levinson, Classe, Krell and Meridian and, with her feddback, we decided on the Meridian 508.24. There has been CDP satisfaction and spousal approval since.

I have not heard the 308T but I agree with Pehare that the 306/200 is a marvelous player and can be had now for in the $1800 to $2000 range if you are patient enough.
