A Low Cost Pleasant Sounding Used CD Player?


My ancient Linn Majik CD player has recently died. I only play a CD maybe once or twice a month, though I do have hundreds of them.

Any recommendations for an inexpensive good sounding replacement player? Thank you in advance...

I would like to suggest that when a Shortlist is produced or a CDP is selected that is looking to be your Objective to acquire, furthering the investigation is done prior to the purchase.

Used CDP's can live on for a  very ling time if the Part are available to support them when required. Some Models are valued and up to date parts are discovered by advocates that are exchangeable.

It will not take long to learn how a CDP Model can be kept in its finest working fettle.

The Linn Majik may be discovered to be repairable without Linn involved?

I have been able to listen to a few CD's of the same models, produced in Japan and Sold as a Japanese Brand CDP or as a British Brand Sold under the guise the Product is produced in the UK?

Where the demo's of these CDP's has been of interest, is I have heard them A/B Compared as a OEM Model and Modified Model.

I can only state, that a Modified Model has been a standout for the improvements that have been created, a particular Sony Modified CDP was the go to CDP on many a listening session when at the home of the individual doing modifications.

At a later date, a Standalone Bespoke Built Valve DAC was used with the OEM Sony CDP and compared to the same Model undergone modifications. The situation of old immediately changed the OEM Sony through the DAC outshone the other CDP with immediacy. The modifier was quite shocked , but quite pleased to have learned a very easy solution to advance in performance quality an Olden Era CDP.
