Musical Fidelity’s M2sCD CD player is a natural partner for the M2si stereo amp – the two-part M2 series marking the brand’s first release since being acquired by Pro-Ject Audio Systems.
The M2sCD is the firm’s most affordable CD player, sitting below the M3 and M6 models. The M6, which is positioned as a digital hub rather than just a CD player, will set you back well over three times the cost of the M2sCD, which was initially launched.
Musical Fidelity has opted for a sleek, fuss-free design, with a small silver M2sCD insignia plate the only real flourish in terms of bodywork. Combined with the player’s dimensions, it reminds us of the opening mechanism of a quality briefcase.
There are small, silver, circular control buttons located in a line below the digital screen. This row of six is split by a centrally positioned IR receiver, which gets in the way somewhat and looks a little awkward, but the buttons feel precise and are pleasing to push. Otherwise, there’s little to dislike here in terms of aesthetics.

YG Acoustics Carmel 3
On paper, the Carmel 3 from Colorado-based speaker specialist YG Acoustics has a credibility problem. They cost a huge amount of money but are small, rather plain-looking two-way floorstanders.
