Changer


Hi all ! I am setting up a small system for my gf. Probably a pair of Tekton M-Lores and a smaller integrated tube amp or tube power amp . Need some ideas on a 5 disc cd changer ( I know , but she wants a changer ) with remote volume control . $300 budget...thx all , brad

It sounds like you are searching for variable outputs, if I read your post right. The only recent changers I know of that have this are some of the Sony ES units, the 333, 555, maybe even the 222.
I had a college roommate who had a Sony ES changer with variable output, we're still friends and he still has it in his main system! That should speak to build quality, we graduated in '96...
OK I misspoke, the C222ES, C333ES, and C555ES do not have variable outputs, per the manuals on the Sony site. I did a not-so-quick search and found that the CDP-C87ES and CDP-CA9ES units do have variable outputs. I'd stick with an ES unit if you buy a Sony. There is a CA9 on sale on this site RIGHT NOW:

but there is a sale pending...
