Hi-end CD 5-disk Changers?

Thanks Michaelbr, MWilson, and Clbeanz for your respective info.
I think the McIntosh may be out of my price league for now (after all it's a CD changer and the cash could be spent on upgrading my speakers instead) but the Sony, Rotel, Denon and Marantz are all contenders.

MWilson - thanks for the info on the replacable power cords for Rotel & Marantz.

Clbeanz - there is a current Denon model called DCD380. Last year's models were called DCM as in DCM460 and DCM560. Is the model you refer to last year's model or is it a typo and really is this year's model? Apparently here in Canada the DCM models are discontinued items (so will have to consider used).

Sony - anyone know if the 333/555ES have detachable power cords?

No Detachable powercords on the Sony 333/555's, however an IEC could be added easily. The Denon 360/460 units are featherlight mostly plastic more entry level type 5 disc changers.

SACDmods.com will add an IEC adapter along with their other mods. I will caution that I haven't heard stellar redbook play from this line of Sony players. SACD is great.

Cheers.

Tom

Good luck

California Audio Labs (CAL) made a five disk changer that gets lots of good reviews, the cl-10. There's one for sale right now on audiogon for 375. Seems like a good deal. (I've no affiliation w/ the seller.)
