Best "RedBook" player out there


I'm looking for a new or used cd player that plays just regular red book cd's(maybe hdcd).No sacd's/dvds.My budget is under $3000.00.I'm have a Sonic Frontiers cd-1 that i'm currently using.I'm looking for something with a anolog sound and a large soundstage.Any suggestions?

youll get a bunch of suggestions...im a linn user..so i like ikemi, or newer magic
Yours is a common question with 20-30 standard replies. I'd suggest searching the archives.
I second the vote for a used Ikemi or a new Linn Majik. There are of course other options as well - these are just my favorites (by a wide margin)in this price range among the players I have heard. But tastes do vary.
Only a "Spaz" would think he could get the best red-book player for $3000...............sorry couldnt resist:)
