Should I Keep my Second CD Player?

I agree, hang onto to it.  Who knows what the future availability of CDPs will be.

I tend to wind up keeping everything so, that’s my opinion. 😀

i Dunno, seems like you could get some nice change for the supernova. For a backup player just grab a $300 Marantz

I have a specific reason to keep both players. If you are into auditioning different cables having a second CD player as a control is a great way to reduce the effect of expectation bias. You can get a good sense of how the two players compare in sound and then when you swap the cables on one of the players you can hear if the sound materially changed. You can do this again and again over a period of weeks and really hear if there is much of a difference. IMO this is a much better way to judge cables (or other CD player tweaks) than long term listening on one player.

I never did get an Oppo so I have 4 CD players, 3 DACs, and one transport so that I can play CD, SACD, HDCD, and DVD Audio. That's more than I need but I sort of collect and keep the ones I like. I almost pulled the trigger on the Wright modified 103 a couple times and I’m pissed that I didn’t.

I have Oppo 105d and Simaudio 5.3 cd player.I love having both for just 2/ch and can appreciate what both offer my system .The sim is absolutely built like a tank and in pristine condition.It had a drawer issue that i had addressed some while back and was updated as well in the process...i dont remember it sounding as good as it does...so?.That is a consideration you might want to do.That sup-nova is a badass peice.Oppo’s come along way more often!?.

I will add if you selling pm me! 😉
