Philips CD303 CD Player & Plinius IIb/VII Pre and Power Amplifier & Castle Speakers.
This combination works very well. All items are approximate contemporaries I think. The Philips CD player is much better than I was expecting ..I would say really nice, smooth, warm detailed - hard to fault. This is a lovely sounding combination and I could live with this no problem, non fatiguing, engaging, great sound-stage and detailed. Perfect for jazz but also sounds great with rock; classical and orchestral, sounds open and instruments are well defined and clear.
