Find something that uses the old school TDA1541 chip and your golden. There’s a list you can Google of the many high/low/med end players that use it.

Is it a good idea to buy CD players over 10 years old even it is a reliable brand?
On cost consideration, I am planning to buy a 2nd hand CD Player like Accuphase DP 500 Player or Estoric X-05
which are around 10 years old or so. The price is about US$2000~3000. Of course, unlike amplifier, the CD player has a pick up head and mechanical gears, but even for the above brands which are famous for it's reliability, is it good idea to buy the quite aged CD players from them?
Tks. for the comment and opinion.

faust168Fine if you want it, just make sure you can still get a laser or complete mech for easily and cheaply, if it’s not here, I wouldn’t bother with it. http://vasiltech.narod.ru/CD-Player-DAC-Transport.htm Cheers George |
Yes, some older CD players from the 80’s and 90’s can sound wonderful. I’ve got both a Sony and a JVC CD player from the 80’s which still work perfectly, although the Sony sounds better and is built like a tank. If you do buy an older CD player, it’s a good idea to make sure it’s got a digital output in case you wanna use it as a transport so you’re able to try out different DAC’s. |
