I stop by Goodwill once in a while, it near the Lowe's so it's not out of the way. I found a working Pioneer PL-50 it has no dust cover and needed a belt, for only 20 bucks. Work great too. Recently, I've been using Facebook's "Marketplace" feature. I scored a Pioneer PL-71 DD TT in very nice condition. Marketplace is geared for local sales where touch and feel before you buy is the name of the game.
Thrift store bargain
Wow. I visited a thrift store in my neighborhood this afternoon. They had a decent looking Sony Blu-ray player for $8.99 with a digital coaxial out. Bingo! I have a NuForce integrated amp as part of my basement system, and it has a digital coaxial input. By the way, my old CD players bit the dust years ago. Plugged the Sony in…and holy bejesus it sounds pretty damn good. Not bad for $10 with tax. Anyone out there find anything decent recently for not a lot of scratch? Listening to Tool right now and I’m pretty freaking amazed. I’ll have fun tonight dusting off some CDs.
