I notice that most people run a seperate cd player. Is there any reason for this or is it just better sound?
Everything I own burned in the fire!!!!!!!!!!

    Better sound......make that the possibility of much better sound is the reason.

    yes, then you can smoke your pipe and make small gurnting approval noises, I can recommend several pipes and brands of tobacco for you.

    In a nutshell, Hi-Fi is about getting the purest signal from the software to the speaker, specialization is generally held as one of the key's for the system.

    Steve is close. MF made a pre amp/CD player, but no longer.

    In the 2-channel, music world, a separate CD player is a necessity. I'm sure a combo unit from MF or Arcam wouldn't make for a bad setup, but speaking in general, you don't want to rely on a CD changer, DVD player, or CD player/preamp combo as your main source. You can do a lot better in quality (both build and sound quality) going with a separate, stand alone unit.
