Short list mf a308 arcam fmj 23 rega saturn amr cd77.1
If you like vintage, and can find one, Philips 650CD player, manufacture year (1985). They are usually around $150.00-$250.00. Using the classic TDA1541 chip.
I had a Rega Planet back in the day and thought it was a really nice player for $800, saw one listed here for $250 at that price it's an absolute steal. And presumably later models, you mention saturn,are better but I have no direct experience.
Cambridge 840c. 851c would be better and used they're getting down in that price range I think.
My system has pretty much been upgraded around my 851c and I feel it still could be placed in a system better than what I have and still hold its own. It's a bargain even at its retail price.
The 840c is still a very nice player and I'd put it easily up against your shortlist. Never heard the AMR so can't speak there.
