How are Adcom CD players?
I'm kicking around the idea of getting a higher end CD player, an upgrade from the $150-ish Yamaha, Carver, Kenwood units I've had in the past and something that sounds better than the DVD/CD player I'm using now (a 300 disc Sony).
Something like an Arcam really looks nice, but I have to have at least a 5 disc changer. I just can't go back to a single disc player. The dealer near me (which closed it's doors after Best Buy and Tweeter moved in :mad: ) used to carry Adcom but I never got a chance to listen to them.
So, for around $300, would a used Adcom 5 disc be a better sounding player than the DVD/CD player I'm using now? Keep in mind I prefer the sound of the analog output over the digital output so I doubt I will use digital.
I've looked at new players from Onkyo, Denon, and Sony but I don't feel those players sound any better than the Yahama 5 disc player I already have (which I might end up just breaking out of storage instead!)
This time nobody here can really help you

It's sad but true. CD players are very "person specific" and although I've got my favorites, you might not think the difference is worth the price. ADCOM makes some pretty good stuff for the $$$ though, and I'm using an ADCOM preamp, now instead of my PS Audio just for a change. It's a damn good unit too, although I'm not too keen on powered pre's as they give me too much gain. I've just blown two tweeter fuses again! ARRH!
