Jafant makes a good point. I would check with the mfr. first to see if they still could provide service on the model you,re interested in. I,m on my 4th player. The first two had the transport breakdown. The 3rd and current player exhibited microprocessor problems. The 3rd player retailed for 4500 back in 2001. The mfr (a respected high end mfr supposedly) refused to even look at it. I now have a 35lb paperweight with no recourse. I would never buy a product from them again.
Is it a good idea to buy CD players over 10 years old even it is a reliable brand?
On cost consideration, I am planning to buy a 2nd hand CD Player like Accuphase DP 500 Player or Estoric X-05
which are around 10 years old or so. The price is about US$2000~3000. Of course, unlike amplifier, the CD player has a pick up head and mechanical gears, but even for the above brands which are famous for it's reliability, is it good idea to buy the quite aged CD players from them?
Tks. for the comment and opinion.
