CD Player under $3000

[JohnMichael]

Hmmm... $3k huh? I guess if you can spend that on speaker wires, why not a CD player. What do they do better? Higher bit rate?

They are reported to be better built with more precise drives for better laser tracking. They have excellent DACs that feature upsampling and multiple power supplies. Like other high end products the best individual components to create a top notch machine. Cary makes a cd player that you can switch from transistor output to tubes and select the amount of upsampling. I just need to win the lottery.

OK, I do see a few extra bells and whistles. Check this puppy out.

I have read some positive reviews on that player. I can bet it will not be under my tree this year.

By the way I may change my name to JMichael since topspeed thinks were twins. Twin sons of different mothers.

Will that join us at the hips?

Well 3K will get you a bit higher then the entry line for what i consider a real system. (Yes i know i am a snobby *****, so what?!?!)

Look into the older used Krell KPS20 series, the Wadia 800 Series, the Benchmark Dac1 is a good buy and so is the Manley Junior DAC.

You can be a snobby ***** if it makes you happy. If I had the money I'd buy one for even more. And if someone with a $50 player told me that theirs was "just as good." I'd get upset as h.ll.

How's your trip? Was the jazz club good?

[Florian]

Thanks my friend, my trip was pretty ok. It was a hard week trying to teach those guys the IT English terms but they did quite well on the tests today. The club was great, but it was not a Jazz club but more of a bavarian music bar. It tought me that i am very close with my system to life but its still missing the scale and size, but this can only be solved with a bigger room. Another thing is the dynmaic contrast but all in all i cant complain :-)

Lucky for you we are not conjoined twins. Life would be tough if we shared the same butt and my BF was on his way home.

Now that's just not right. My butt has a do not enter sign on one side of it. And, "wrong way, go back" on the other.

I borrowed and cleaned up a joke I heard Jay Mohr tell about a time he was down and Buddy Hackett told him things could always be worse and he went into a joke about you could be a siamese twin with a gay brother. LMAO So I worked into the twins idea hopefully to bring a laugh and also Merry Christmas.
