At the end I decided to get this setup
Ampli: Cambridge audio sr20 Cd: Cambridge audio CD 05 Speakers: b&w 685 s2 Turntable: pro-jet debut
I am quite happy, but I have a major issue with the CD player: I have discovered that the Cambridge Audio Topaz CD5 (like its big brother CD10) adds a gap between tracks. This may not be a problem with many cds, but when I'm listening to concerts or cds with songs links together, I can really hear the blank pause.
I don't know what to do: should I return it and get another player or I keep it? My other options would be:
NAD C 516BEE or ONKYO C 7030 or Marantz CD5005, which are in the same pricerange. The problem is that I would lose the match design with the ampli.
What's your advice?
