Yesterday's Spinners

Cambridge CXC transport only is a new one that's very good for the money. And I've got my eye on a Denafrips Avatar one day.

Many, at the moment, I'm using a very nice sounding old one Arcam Delta 250 transport only. So far the best one I've had was a Wadia WT2000 two box transport, trouble was it had a Sony KS151A laser, and they are like hens teeth now to get, so I sold it while it was working good. Another good one was a Pioneer PD77 stable platter, same problem getting a laser now.  
I would stick with CD only ones as some hybrids have different lasers to play other formats, and to me don't sound as good as dedicated cd ones.

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

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.

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! 

'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.

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

@rlb61,

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

Ever since Elizabeth called CD players and CD transports spinners, everyone seems to call them that.  They are NOT spinners and aren’t marketed as such.  The Spinners was a music group back in the 70’s I believe.
