Don’t buy used, many of the used players laser assembly’s are near the end of their lives and many are no longer available.
My dealer won't buy or sell used CD players.
Need help choosing a new CD Player
I consider myself new to this hobby although I have dabbled a bit over the past 30 years or so. Recently purchased a McIntosh MA252 integrated and have a set of B&W Matrix speakers (1985 - 1989 vintage) that sound pretty good . Looking for a CD player (prefer under $1000) to replace my current Samsung DVD player. I primarily listen to classic rock and some classical.
For this price range am looking at the following:
Marantz CD6007
Rotel CD11 Tribute or CD 14
Pro-Ject CDBox S2 Chrome
My listening room is a little odd shaped (11x 16, bay window at one end and glass wall at the other end) and I have to listen across the shorter distance due to the room configuration.
Eventually will upgrade the speakers, but for now need a CD player
Would appreciate some advice on a decent quality CD player (at this time, not interested in a CDT and DAC setup). Thanks in advance.
