Time for a CDP

[demigod]

Currently running with Norge 1000 + wharf 9.2 connected with a basic sony DVDP.
After hearing from many of you, thinking of going for a dedicated CDP.

Now the question is which one you'll suggest for the above Amp+Spk combo. My budget is 15k for now.

Also if someone in Pune can help, i would like to audition their CDP to see the difference in person. Can someone help?

hi Demigod
Me got a similar setup: Norge 2060+ 9.2 + basic DVDp. Let me share my experience. 9.2 has got a rolled off treble, and a slightly recessed midrange. I suggest something like marantz CDP models which has got good midrange and treble which will perfectly match your setup and also musical. Cambridge Audio might suit as well. NADs i learn from forum are already warm so NAD+norge+wharf will sound dull. Any better players like arcam etc. other forum can suggest better than me.

I think stanley has temperorily suspended transactions with india because of Paypal problem. Not sure whether this has been resolved.

Newbie qtn!

I am planning to get the same combination Norge 1000 + wharf 9.2 within a week. Very tight on budget and CD player has to wait. But my question is Now whether to go for a mass market DVD player or TEAC-CD-P1160 CD Player (from shemaroo site Rs.6000)? and go for a CD player when I have enough money to buy Marantz or Yam.
