older dedicated midfi cd player....2nd system


Looking for for an older, reliable, dedicated player with smooth top end, full bass, and great soundstaging...have had good luck with denon and Sony in the past...but would like to try something else...however the denon dcd 835 comes to mind...not into changers or jukeboxes...anything from 95-05 era that can be found easily on the used market?...basically a forgiving player that doesnt punish sub par recordings...I demoed the orig Rega planet years ago...but wasn't blown away...same with NAD...but they might work for this application...under 1k new models

Play station 1 is pretty hard to beat, IMO. I paid $20.00 at a local used game outfit and it's surprising. It does take a few days being left on to sound its best.Mine even came with a 30 money back guarantee.
I put mine up on some hardwood blocks for better airflow so there's no need to worry about heat. Totally worth it. The one to get is model # SCPH-1001. It has rca outputs on the back. Model number is on the bottom.
