I agree with the suggestion of Sony ES players.
The high end ones were built like tanks and weigh as
much as 40#. For well under $1500, you can get one of their best such as the 707ESD, X779, X707ES, XA55ES, or XA555ES. Yes,
they are vintage machines but were built to last decades. I have
nearly all of the Sony ES players and highly recommend them.
