Arrow Boulder 1021 CD Player

Apparently someone forgot to tell the high-end crowd that the CD isn't the pinnacle of all that is good and wonderful in audio. Instead of capitalizing on advanced features like hard-disc media storage and cataloging your entire CD collection in high resolution lossless format, Boulder Amplifiers has gone with an uber-expensive single-disc CD player. The new 1021 Disc Player from Boulder Amplifiers is going to make a lot of people exclaim "you paid HOW MUCH for that?!?"


Discuss "Boulder 1021 CD Player" here. Read the article.

Well they are solid gold. They also have a new technology that they float and cannot be seen by the naked eye.They come in 4 colors although that doesn't matter because you can't see them. These are the best cables you can buy they only cost 20,000 dollars and they are environment friendly to any mansion or castle as they don't spoil any of your views, cause you can't see um. Buy our cd player and our cables they come with an additional warrenty that you can buy for 18,000 dollars that includes us coming to your house and cleaning you cables

I wish I had enough money to buy one.

If I did, I'd use the money to buy a 60inch plasma TV for every room in my house. And a really nice dinner. In Paris.

I'd have to see the power cord first. These guy's might be trying to pull a fast one and slip us a cheapy!

That thing has way too many buttons on the front to be considered audiophile. And the EMF off that LCD has GOT to be screwing with the soundstage or texture or or chocolaty or something. No way. Maybe for 12k but 24 is just outrageous.

I think the presence of the LCD display, as much as anything else, is what drove me to be so skeptical about the product. That flies in the face of everything "audiophile" I know.
