Is it a good idea to buy CD players over 10 years old even it is a reliable brand?

I am using a near-20 year old Electrocompaniet EMC-1UP, and it sounds superb. Note, however, that I did replace the (Philips) laser once.

How long will it last? Don't know, but it's built like a tank. Does it sound as good as more recent models, or streaming? Well, that would depend on the quality of the components.

In any case, I reject the notion that CD players are somehow anachronistic, and the really good ones can still produce lovely sounding music.

We still have an Electrcompaniet EMC 1UP on display and as Whipsaw says it is reilable and superb sounding.

One of the great classic players.

Anachronistic. Nice.

No.  Never.

I have an Ayre universal player that works perfectly and sounds just as good
