I am happy with a used Cambridge Audio D500 which I picked up used in an e-Bay auction. It's the older model, not the newer SE version, so I got it for a good deal less than the price of a new one. Used with MAS Grey interconnect cables and a Belden Pro power cord, it sounds clearer, more detailed, more musical and more natural than the JVC player I was using previously. Those willing to spend a good deal more money can probably get an even better CD player, but given what I paid, and the major improvement it made in my system, it's definitely a great value for the money.
