Been Reading the Forums, and I'm still kinda clueless as to what I should look at in this Range.. I'm mainly looking for a plain CDP, I don't care about SACD/DVD-A/HDCD/etc since I probbaly won't own anything encoded in those formats for awhile. (That's not to say I don't want those features, I'd rather just have a player that's great at redbook, than that's just good at redbook and good at sacd)
My CD Library consists mainly of live recordings of rock shows at the moment (smashing pumpkins, ben folds, weezer, zwan, etc) but I also listen to Blues, and '70s and '90s rock music. A little classical, but not enough to base a system for it.
I hope to spend around $300, but I could go as high as $400 if it's worth it. Also I'm planning on getting a Corda HA-1 for a headphone amp to go a long with it, and possibly a set of those copper bolder ics and a monster 1100 power filter/surge protector. If you have a good suggestion for a cdp that pairs better with a tube amp or some such, then I'd like to hear it..still open for suggestions as nothing is set in stone except my HD600 headphones.
Thanks
