Best CD Player for under $750?

Did you compare the Rotel with the Rega Planet? Whats the Rotel cost new/used? What were the differences?? Thanks,Dave

Have you onsidered the Pioneer Elite PD-65 unit with the stable platter? It is a great sounding unit for the price. If interested I have one available e-mail me for details.

I have a Sony CDP-X779ES which was Sony's top-of-the-line CD player in the early 1990s when it listed for $1900. Very good sound, very large transformers and exceptional build quality. I'm very happy with mine and don't plan on replacing it until more SACD titles are available and SACD players come down a lot in price. I've seen used X779ES units on rec.audio.marketplace going for around $600-650. Hope this helps. Joel.

I think your best value would be the adcom 750. Those go for around 700-750 used. Modern design, under a year old, an d the support HDCD. I thought the adcom sounded great. I also agree on the older Sony's. Good sound, and outstanding build quality. Check out some of the top shelf denon's as well. I haven't heard the rotel or the rega.

You might want to listen to a Linn Mimik. They are out of production now, but sound good. You should be able to find one in the $500 range.
