| Considering getting a CD player (again). Used? New? Criteria? jsal3689 -- I just ordered it! Cambridge website is out, but Crutchfield had it. 60 days to try it out. I may get something else so I can A/B it. Thanks for the cable suggestion, too. | |
| Considering getting a CD player (again). Used? New? Criteria? Ft. Collins is a ways, but noted! And yes, avoiding used. | |
| Considering getting a CD player (again). Used? New? Criteria? Audiolab keeps getting votes! Regarding Cambridge: Interesting mods to Cambridge. Guttenberg channel. Pretty simple. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VoxC3st7WQw | |
| Considering getting a CD player (again). Used? New? Criteria? Thanks to all, yet again.

| Considering getting a CD player (again). Used? New? Criteria? Wow, lots of great suggestions. One question becomes "How old is too old?" I see there's a division between transport-only and regular players. | |
| Considering getting a CD player (again). Used? New? Criteria? Itsjustme I have certainly not ruled out streaming and in fact I am certain I will continue to do streaming. But I like the simplicity of playing CDs and I like the ability to play music without my computer. I am too much of a novice to have an op... | |
| Considering getting a CD player (again). Used? New? Criteria? Any opinions on Audiolab 6000CDT? | |
| Considering getting a CD player (again). Used? New? Criteria? Thanks! That's great to hear. I suppose I can just power the DAC with a usb hub or wall unit? | |
| Considering getting a CD player (again). Used? New? Criteria? The idea of a separate transport makes sense, but until I get a new DAC and probably amp gear, I’ve only got an Audioengine D1. It’s powered by USB but has an optical input. Would that work? | |
| Considering getting a CD player (again). Used? New? Criteria? I appreciate the info about the Rega valve, but I’m hoping to cap this expense around $700 or so, and that suggestion is around $11k ( https://soundorg.com/valve-isis-reference/ )I’ll look into the Emotiva, the Cambridge, and the Rega Apollo used.... | |
