Hi there,


I'm after a CD player to hook up to my system, which comprises:


Cambridge 540A, Monitor Audio BR2s


Probably looking to spend £150-£200. Obviously, having trawled through the WHF website, I can see which models are the best rated in this price bracket, but which do you think would go best with my particular set-up?


I guess my main options are Cambridge 340C, NAD C515BEE, Marantz CD5001 or 5003, Cambridge DacMagic, or  Cambridge 540C.


Any advice greatly appreciated.


Cheers.

I'm currently using an iPod, connected through a Belkin cable to the back of the amp....

Re: Budget CD Player

David I see you've mentioned Marantz as an option. I certainly known this goes well with the Monitor Audio speakers. If you're interested in a Marantz CD6002 within your budget check out  http://www.glasgowaudio.com/06-2nd-hand.html.

Re: Budget CD Player

Thanks for that.


I'll bear it in mind....


A level above where I was aiming, but as you point out, it's in budget still.
