Hi there --

I'm a bit of a beginner at this. A friend has just sold me his
near-mint McIntosh 6100 integrated amplifier. And I'm looking for an
ideal (and affordable!) CD player to couple with this unit.
Suggestions? Please help! Letting a McIntosh sit idle seems a crime.

Since CD players that sound different from each other is evidence that one
of them is either badly designed or broken, any CD player you choose should
be perfectly fine. Notice that when you look at the graph of the output
from a CD player the scale is in thousandths. IOW whatever signal comes out
is audibly indistinguishable from the signal that went in.
