Inexpensive CD Player

Hi Everyone:

My sister's Rotel RCD-855 finally went belly up. I'd like to get her a replacement CD player for around $200-300 that is well built and reliable. Sound quality is not as importance as reliability and longevity. Used or new is fine. The rest of her system is a Rotel integrated amp and a pair of Spendor bookshelf speakers. Thanks.

a used Rega Planet or a Naim CD3 ... both are older models that just sound great! one or both may be in your price class

I have honestly had worse luck on the reliability side with new, inexpensive CD players than with older, "higher-end" models ... YMMV. The Naim CD3 which I owned was extremely robust, even surviving having a glass globe filled with over a gallon of water smash atop its surface ... had to get rid of the girlfriend who broke the globe though :)
