Hi Maxzimum,I have to agree with Sk's response below it is probably the best CD player I've heard. While the Stibbert is out of my price range I've had the pleasure of hearing one in my system, for a substantial period of time, and in my dealer's system.
The Stibbert manages to do all the 'audiophile' things right: huge soundstage, great imaging, great detail - while still managing to be incredibly musical and engaging. If I had to choose an adjective to describe how it sounds I would choose 'organic' - music just seems to flow from this player.
I highly recommend auditioning one if you can,

Hi,Thanks SK and Nathan for your recommendations. Which version of the Stibbert are you referring to you? The Improved or the Tubed? What are the differences?
The version that Nathan heard is the MK2. If the newer version is better than this as claimed, it is scary good.
I have the "new" Tubed version. Older models had some sort of grounding issue. As for tubes I use Seimans with the Flacon logo, very hard to find now and for an AC cord I use the Purist 20th Ann Aqueous, the only other AC cord that is better is the Purist 20th Ann but it's twice the price.
Hope this helps.
