Best bet for the money is a used Theta, EAD, or Monarchy "universal" transport that is based on high end Japanese laser/mutidisc players (4 different disc sizes). These are inexpensive now and far superior to the low end stuff mentioned here. They are designed to spin the substantial mass of a laser disc and do a fine job with cd's. All of these companies re-work the circuits to their own specs and re-build the boxes (beefier). These also tend to have more output options as they were originially designed as high end pieces.
