Some capacitors start degrading from the moment they roll off the assembly line. They have a built in lifespan, which might be a decade or two, but eventually they will all fail. So even if a CD player has never been used it could still be at end of life. There are a lot of players from the 90s and 2000s that still sound great but I'd be worried about them no matter how little use they have had.
CD Player: Vintage or modern ones?
I’ve been given a collection of classical and jazz CD’s, last time I had or played one was like 20 years ago with a humble Denon I bought saving for few months.
Now that I have a pretty good system, wondering if worth to get a good CD Player or find some “old glory”, but I’m totally lost.
The one that appeals to me is the Audis Flight FL Three S in black (must be black to match rest of my Italian system, ideally from that beautiful country), or the Goldnote CD-10, even some TEAC. Regarding more older units, I’m totally lost.
Any suggestion? Rest of the system is made by Diesis Audio (Speakers, Ampnand cables).
Thanks in Advance.
