Opinions on Harman Kardon CD players

[Tony_R]

Does anybody have any exerience of HK players?

HK kit is (was?) always rumoured to be pretty good. Is this still the case?

My son is after a CD player and has seen these two models HD-970 / HD-755

How do they rate?

Thanks,

Tony.

I used to use a HD970 with a Rotel RA-01 amp. One of the better players I've owned sound wise but felt a bit like using a cheap DVD player. In the end I just found it a little bit clinical. You can do better with something like a Cambridge Audio 540C or 640C in my opinion.

One of those marques that gained big name recognition by "selling out." I listened to a surround reciever in Best buy, not impressed. No wonder yamaha doesn't let bb sell their real good lines.
