  You have got to be kidding.
  CD's suck.
  They have no place in a home or high end system.
  They would have a place if there existed a truely digital system.
  From CD --> Preamp --> Amp --> speaker  all digital.
  Converting to analogue at the first arrow kills the entire process.
 
  Passible systems of analogue nature deal with the hiss and pop
  problems by simply taking care of the vynal and the stylus.
  Talk to the Keith Monks Company if you need a good record cleaning
  machine.
  The vynal is degraded by dust/dirt and bad care just as computer
  disk drives are damaged by cigarette smoke.
 
  Digital (period) on an analogue system produces bad sound.
  (the purists even hate the digitally recorded vynal)
  The question available for discussion is whether a totally 
  digital system will produce an acceptable sound.
