AH Njoe Tjoeb 4000 or Consonance cd120 ??

I am using the Cairn Fog v.2 w/ upsampling with my Prologue Two, and love the combination! At under $1000 used, I think it is hard to beat! It was my choice. I can't compare it directly to either of the CDP's above, and maybe you are strickly looking for a tubed CDP? One nice feature about the Cairn (other than it's looks and sound) is that it has variable volume output via the remote. It is in the digital domain, so if you take it way down, you loose something, but it's a nice feature for when you want/need to turn your system down from your listening chair when trying to listen to someone talk or answering the phone. I believe the Ah! player may have this feature as well? Good luck!

Don't overlook the Cary 308-T this is a tubed output CDP with great sound. They are $2,500 new but show up on A'gon for about $1200 - $1,300. Nothing "cheap" about this CDP it weighs 25 lbs and seems to be carved from a single block of steel.

Very very execlent sound as well.

I am running one with my Cayin TA-30 and enjoy it very much.

Jh2os,
I did consider your Cairn Fog v.2 but correct me if I'm
wrong, I heard that it doesn't offer coax connections.
Only optical and balanced.
The Primaluna Pro Two doesn't offer balanced connections.

Markeetaux, the Fog offers both RCA and XLR analog outputs, as well as the digital output. I have mine connected to my Prologue Two with Kimber Hero RCA's. Feel free to email me if you'd like more information on this player.
