Not another which is best but, I need help w/CDP

Hello all,

I kind of hate to see someone ask which is the best (insert various equipment here) but, I would love a reccomendation or two. I currently have a Sony DVP 9000ES in my video/second system and am completely happy with it except for one MAJOR annoyance............ It doesn't play CD-R or CD-RW's. I really want to be able to record LP's (onto CD-R) from my other system in my music room, bring them into the house and listen (no I don't want another TT setup).

My thought is to buy another CD player that does the job. I want the best possible sound without spending a fortune. Around $500 would be good but, if it'll make a huge improvement I might be willing to go as high as $1000. I have been eyeing the Sony SCD 777ES but then thought; does the thing even play CD-R's? Or, how does it compete with newer designs? And of course, it is more than $500.

Any thoughts????

Thanks

Chris

The Rotel CD players will all handle CDR's beautifully. The sound is good and Rotel equipment is an excellent value. The are some deals on used pieces here from time to time.

One choice would be Denon's DVD-5900.
I believe a couple of Marantz model's also work.
Goodluck,

I also have a Sony DVP 9000ES. In my case I have a few favorist songs that don't exist on CDs. I tried CD-RW (memorex brand. It may work with other brands too but I have not try yet), using Nero software to burn as the out put of *.WAV files. It works on my Sony DVP 9000ES. I also save the songs in the hard dirve for back up since CD-RW could be eraised accidently.

Hope it may will help.

If you could squeeze a couple hundred more on the budget. A used Audio Aero Prima would be a great choice!
