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 would stay away from multidisc players Cambridge Audio is generally good. Marantz - flaky (mine broke twice in 6 years) NAD and older Rotels - not the highest quality Audiolab gets rave reviews check out https://shopgoodwill.com/item/192342841

Had an NAD C525 BEE for twenty years and it was a champ. You can find one now probably for less than $200. I also like the more recent Rotels - they sound great and seem to have quality parts. A weird one: Nakamichi OMS-1A. Found one for $80. It sounds great and has the smoothest operating drawer I've ever experienced. |
