Best redbook CD player

BTW, you might be able to find a used APL Denon 3910 for around $2500. If so,
I'd be very surprised if anything comes close in that price range. You'd be in the
big leagues with the APL Denon.

Be the laser assembly has been replaced, as this is the only issue with these
players (it's a Denon issue, not an APL issue).

I too recommend the Resolution Audio Opus 21.

(Jeff Kalt, the owner/designer at R.A. is a great guy, and will bend over backwards to help you should you even need it!)

This should read, "Be certain the laser...".

Amr cd-77!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Optarchie,

I do believe the least expensive Amr cd-77 ever on AudiogoN was about $5000. That would be about double the maximium budget of the Original Poster.

Chashmal,

I see that the Resolution Audio Opus 21 has already been mentioned a couple of times. I agree that it is a very good choice in the sub $2500 range. I've owned 2 in the past and I sometimes wish I had kept one of them.

A few great features of the Opus 21 are great reliability and outstanding service by Jeff at RA, upgradability from Great Northern Sound (another great company), excellent and stable resale value (they've been about $2200-$2600 used for the last 4 years). Buy one and enjoy it. If you don't love it, re-sell it for little/no loss......

Enjoy,

TIC
