Frenchmon&Peabody have a meeting of the CDP's

[harley .guy07]

harley, the XRAY is being discontinued and can be had at $799. Its a great bargan and a great way to upgrade.

Listening to the XRAY on Mr.Peabodys system revealed to me that I really need to get new speakers...some floor standers and perhaps a better warmer amp. Mr. Peabodys system is just awesome. But I already have the CDP at a discounted price. So I can build from there. You can get the XRAY at audioadvisor and keep it for thirty days before you send it back if you dont like it. But its really a great bargan at $799.

thinks for the info and well certainly take it as good advise from people who have actually heard the difference. And yes when I do upgrade components I do want to be happy with them for years and not have to upgrade do to the fact that I did not spend a little bit more for a better component. I do have other areas of my system that I think need attention first before buying a high end cdp. I am looking at better main speakers,getting a dedicated 2 channel preamp with theater bypass so I can get the full benifit from seperates. Then I can start looking at source components for improvment. If you do not agree with my plan of action feel free to tell me as I am very open for options

Oh no...you have a idea of the path you want to take and thats a good thing. I too am rethinking some things after being over at Mr. Peabody;s listening room. Man I want Dynaudio but the Dynaudio speakers are really expensive. I also like the Paradigm Studio series..... I need a deal. Take a look at these....tell me what you think. They sure have a nice price tag

Also Mr. Peabody has a nice 200 watt per channel ADCOM amp he is willing to sell at a bargan if you are interested.

Frenchmon,

Dynaudio has some awesome sounding speakers and I know we all have our budgets to help us decide which speaker is the right one....but...besides the Dynaudio speakers you may want to investigate speakers from Reference 3A and also speakers from Mordaunt-Short. Try to find a dealer near you who carries these lines and give them a good listen--- you can't go wrong with a Dyn, R3A, or M.S.

Take care and thanks for you input on this thread too.
