Go with Cary, Arcam or Krell then. Like I said before, listen before you buy.

I'm afraid to buy stuff from AH!

It is so hard to get anything repaired by them...

I can't comment on upscale audio though.

If you love articulation, check out cyrus CD7. IT has the best articulation under $1,000 from various CDP I have listened to.

Only because I get tired of being beaten down by Vertigo-1...otherwise I would say, I voted with my wallet -- I bought one!

upscale does njoe tjoeb repairs and stuff in house. had a transformer issue about a year and a half ago (i drilled into it by accident, long story) and kevin provided a new transformer the same day. the player doesn't have reliability issues.

4ever,

not familiar with the cd-19a but the cd-17 is a hell of a transport. don't rule out dacs.

best,
carlo.
