Seeking Budget CD Player Suggestions
I also posted this question in another forum. A friend of mine has an early 90s era Mac CD player which is on its last legs. Great player in its day, but he is on a budget (around $500) and needs to replace it, preferably new, dealer demo, open box, etc. Rotel CD-11 and Marantz CD-6007 have been suggested as top picks in that price range. Any other suggestions, ideas, reasoning for a particular model? If Rotel, would the Tribute or Mk. II edition be preferable?
I have a Audiolab CDT 6000. It’s a really good transport, and reads many of my SACDs. They can be found on the used markets for ~ $350. Many are moving up to new transports like the Shanling ET3 $750 which I plan to upgrade to soon https://en.shanling.com/article-IntroET3.html

It's great that there are so many low cost CD Player options now...I have the Rotel CD11 Tribute - would say the Tribute is worth it - have not heard the MKll versions...Also have and like a Marantz CD6006 which is supposedly almost as good as the CD6007...I also had the Onkyo C7030 for even less money...also have the Integra 3.4...,all good, my preference is the Rotel Tribute CD11 - available at good prices now that the MKll is out... |
