Best Basic CD Player (no SACD, USB, etc.)


Hey guys! Old dude here! My Panasonic SL-PJ316 CD player took a dump after years of faithful service. I started looking around for a replacement only to discover CD players with price tags into the thousands of dollars!! WTH??  Ok, I know there is SACD, USB, bluetooth, etc. BUT, I am not going to try and re-purchase my entire CD collection of almost 40 years to buy a SACD player. And, from what I've read, the USB, streaming lot seems to cause problems in certain players. ALL I need is a high quality, basic CD player that won't cost thousands of dollars. Any suggestions? Yamaha? NAD? Marantz? I'm "all ears". Thanks, for the advice. Best regards, Rob

As the US distributor of YBA, a point of clarification:

All YBA CDPlayers/Transports use the standard "RedBook" laser - i.e. Philips CDPro2, CDM4, etc

On most models a "Blue LED" is mounted to bathe the data side of the CD and enable the red laser to read the pits more accurately.

Hope that helps...
