Thankyou for your advice- people always used to go on about Philips transports
Currently I have a Mission Discmaster (top loading transport with glass lid and puck), Arcam Alpha and Alpha 8, Cambridge Audio CXC transport, Technics SL-PS840, Pioneer 656A and VSX C300 DVD players.
They all still get used as CD players in various setups! Ironically one of my favourites is the 656A feeding into a SC-LX81 but the two workhorses are the Alpha 8 (biamped Alpha 8r and Alpha 8 power amp into B and W 601 series 2) and CXC (with CXN streamer into a CXA80 with Quad ESL57s)
In retirement is an early Phillips CD930, a Philips based Traxdata CD recorder, a couple of older chanmpagne coloured Oynko DVD players (surprisingly quick and solid) and an old high end Pioneer BluRay (incredibly slow but now deceased and in the black museum)
Appreciate all this stuff is mostly mid range and/or ancient
