picked up my headmaster today. it got lost in the mail on its way to my friendly neighbourhood dope-pusher. took some time to listen to some sources as well. i'm a bit torn between getting a naim cd5, new, or a cdx, used, for an extra 10% and the risk of trusting an audiogon-er with no track record (the guy has a pretty kosher ebay feedback, though... and having a european version for sale just when i want one makes it just a bit too cliché...), or something else...
i auditionned the Sugden CDmaster, and failed to be impressed, again, given the price. and absolutely don't feel like taking the risk of waiting for it to burn-in. i've auditionned the classé cdp-1, which was in between the naims imho, the primare d30 (nice, failed to impress) as well as the audiomeca kheops and the lower-end one (the kheops was nice, maybe a bit too laid back and "precious" for my taste)...
any thoughts ?
