Why trade a good cd player for an older unit that is not only going to cost you more money, it may not sound as good or be reliable and you admit you are more into Vinyl....why not save money and spend it on music (what a novel idea!)
Swapping Rotel RCD971 to Luxman D500xs..wise move?
Hi Audiogon folk,
need some advice please..I've been using a Rotel RCD971 for the past year which I bought used at an audiounion store in japan. My question is I have come across an interesting looking cd player - the luxman D500x's and wonder if it would be worth trading my rotel in for this.
I have no idea what it sounds like yet or whether it would better the Rotel. It seems to be built like a tank , however it was made in the early 90's so it is older than the rotel. The cost on top of the trade is very little. I did a google but not so much user info came up. Just old catalogue listing/ ads.
Any suggestions? I do like the Rotel the only thing is recently I have found myself listening to more LPs on my old sony PSE-4000 turntable as the listening experience has become more enjoyable.
Anyhow, just wondered if anyone had experience with the luxman and whether it's a good idea to swap cdplayers.
cheers
