Yep, I'm trying to find a nice CD player. Any suggestions? My dad is getting a Rega RP1 for Christmas, so I'm pretty pumped for that. But, vinyl are pretty expensive therefore, CD's are much more conveinent.

Don't write them off, they're bad ass.  I can think of a lot of well regarded phones or IEMs these could displace.  
 
Now...if only they were more comfortable.

Definitely.  I've moved away from computer based set ups for the past year for the same exact reason.

Couldn't help but noticing that you lived in Westchester County.
Glad to see that there are some other head-fi members from my area.
 
Any ideas yet where you are going to go with your next upgrade?

I just bought the Resonessence Labs Invicta DAC, which can play music off a built-in SD card reader, so that's one of them.  And the other, which will feed into the Invicta as a transport, is the Cambridge 350C I posted a picture of.

Oh, that sounds really nice

. Do you like the 350C?

Nice man. Yea, New York is a hot bed. I wish I had gone to that meet in White Plains a while back.
I'm gonna go for the Matrix M-stage (classA opa627ap) and I'm not sure what headphone to go with yet. I've been considering a few options all under $400

Well, I've had it for all of one day, but it seems fine so far. Analog output isn't too shabby and it'll be fine for occassional stand in duties when necessary (like now). I bought it because the transport mehanism's supposed to be half decent, so if it plays my CDs properly, without breaking, then I'll like it.

My computer is specd for gaming so it's far too loud. My laptop distracts me... my netbook at times isn't powerful enough to play the media I want.
 
Just put the CD into a player and ready to go!
