Any Decent Sounding Multiple CD Players?

Looking for advice: I am putting together an office system and would like the convenience of a multiple CD player, so I don't have to get up and change CD's every hour. I don't really need to have a player that plays 25 or more discs; even a five disc player would be a great convenience. My office system will have an Audio Note (tube) integrated, Rogers LS3/5A speakers. I don't want to spend more than $500 by the way. Any thoughts or recommendations for multiple CD players would be appreciated.

The CAL Audio Labs CL 10 is a great sounding player at any price andjust as important in the office it is fast changing and quiet!!!

I love my CAL-10 and have seen them used for 600-700, but at the time was also auditioning an NAD changer for appx 500 new that sounded VERY musical. I will check my notes for the model number

my nad cd-changer retailed for $500 & i got it as a demo unit for $350. i a-b'd it in my system w/an alchemist nexus ($1700 single-cd player) & there was absolutely no difference. (cary & melos preamps, marchand x-over, meret re monitors bi-amped w/electrocompaniet amps, vmps larger subs powered by bridged adcom gfa-555's). w/your hi-quality a-n integrated, it's prolly all ya need. my brother-in-law a-b'd the alchemist in *his* system w/the $3500 res-audio cd-55, & he said the differences were minor, & only noticeable in direct a-b comparison w/the same tracks going simultaneously thru 2 inputs on his pre, while he was going back-n-forth between the two. fwiw... doug
