I know you guys are tired of seeing these various X v. Y posts, but I've finally got a (very) little bit of money to spend on something, and my heart wants to get a CD player to feed my Audioengine 2 speakers. It's a small 10' X 10' square room, so the Audioengine 2s actually sounds quite wonderful in that space. Am planning to do some amateur acoustic damping also somewhere along the way.
I started out thinking of the DVD99. It costs 13k and has an excelllent reputation for audio and video, and although i can't hook it up to my plasma just now, maybe somewhere down the line when i move to another house, i could have used it, but for the foreseeable future the use would have been CD playback.
Then Gobble mentioned the CD6002 being available for 15-18k and i contacted Bass Treble with regard to that. They said stock will take 2-3 weeks to come, and they're not sure if they can offer the same price. But they said they do have a few CD5001s for 10,500. That piqued my interest again, as that sounds like a good deal, and I would be getting a plain simple CD player and saving 2,500 compared to the DVD99.
the CA 540C V2 i just put in there, it costs about 17k, and that's also an option if i am considering the 6002 at 18k, and i've heard it and it sounds quite good.
Just want inputs from anyone who has compared or extensively listened to any one or more of my options to see what I should go for. If I buy the CD5001, i could maybe splash out and get a decent pair of stands for the audioengine 2s....so many thoughts swirling around. Would appreciate all the advice that I can get.
