Yesterday's Spinners

I'm curious just how good, both as digital processors and CD spinners, a couple of state-of-the-art players from yesterday compare with the best of today.

I have to assume that the new Luxman D-10x has to surpass the Luxman D-08u in some way. 

And I see Soulution has chosen to no longer offer a spinner. So, just how good is the discontinued Soulution 541?

@rlb61,

I remember that, mid 70’s Disco Era I believe. Was never a fan but they had a lot of talent.

yesterdays "good" CD (spinners) used as transports, with todays "good" DAC's are as good as you can get digital to sound.

Stereo5: So sorry I took the liberty to refer to a CD player as a "spinner". Oh, the disc Does have to Spin for the machine to be able play it, does it not?  Ugh!

PS Audio is just announcing a new Perfectwave SACD/CD transport. Should be a solid option for those who want a new disc transport. I used to have a PS Audio Directwave transport, and it did a great job feeding a SOTA DAC.

George,
              Which older spinners do you recommend? Currently using an
old Pioneer elite laserdisc player.
