Best Circa 90's CDP

Hi friends,

I am looking for a short list of the best CDP from the 90's era. I own a few hundred Redbook CD's that I want to enjoy again. I am very nostalgic about the nineties as that's when I first got into the hobby. 

Thanks for your recommendations in advance. 

Stan

Nice recommendations above.  Best was the Audio Meca Mephisto II.  Next the Metronome T1A & AL2 CD Transport & Power Supply.  Another great choice is the Marantz CD-94.  These easily sound better anything suggested above. After that then find a modern unit not to expensive and have the parts upgraded.

Happy Listening.

If the budget it tight, the Pioneer PD 65 is a good one.

@bigkidz Better than the Linn CD12?  I respect your opinions/experience but color me a little skeptical on that one.

Second,

Pioneer PD 65. Add Accuphase DP-65/65v (1997) and Sony ES 7-Series.

 

Happy Listening!
