Has anyone had on of these CD players? How good are they?

+++ Audiolab 6000CDT, blows my old standby Onkyo C-7030 away. Running it through a Denafrips Pontus II DAC.....amazingly adept at delivering sonic improvements across the board

In the last 2 years I had 2 cd player laser mechanisms die; Pioneer PD 65  and Marantz HD CD -1. In both cases mechanisms were no longer available through the manufacturers. I managed to run down a mechanism for the HD-CD 1 BUT is was $150 + shipping from asia. I got super lucky and bought a Audiolab CDT 6000 from a guy who had 2, and sold it super cheap, including shipping. Give it both a high quality coax cable and power cord and it's a shocker. If you do regular searches you can find one for ~ $400-450

Another Audiolab 6000CDT fan. Got mine a couple months ago as an open box for right around $525 shipped IIRC. Impressed immediately and well built. Just installed a better power cord.

Highly recommended for the $$.

I use a Kenwood CD player from 1987, through my Mac. It works well and sounds great!  

Read reputable reviews!    Oppo 83SE, still strong with Schitt DC, although largely unnecessary. Vintage Linn....like buying a used Rolls Royce.
