- Some ideas:
-
- Icon (mail order, but very reputable - ex designer from c-j's
- synthesis line)
-
- NEAR dunno what model - great comments from industry folkks
-
- Spica SC-30 ($400)
- Spica TC-50 ($550)
- (both great values, with drawbacks. Spica will send reviews
- that cover both sides pretty well).
-
- Have fun. Use your ears, and be sure to compare with
- comparable CD players / amps /etc.
