How old is too old?

if the price is right and it has good resale, take a chance...some older stuff seems to work well forever and some not, really no way to know...streaming is great, but once again ignore ghd (who seems to want nobody to play CD or LP)as playing discs can be fun and sound great...

I suppose if it’s not very expensive you won’t be out much if it craps out on you, and I guess you could get lucky and get years out of it.  But I would definitely not buy an expensive player that’s 10+ years old.  That’s just stupid IMHO. 

I left the world of transports and cd's when my wonderful Mark Levinson No.37 (Phillips Pro mechanism) died. Spending big money on components with such finite lifespans not for me, purchasing used makes even less sense.

Could be time to treat yourself with something new?? 👍

+1 jl35.  any time someone asks for advice on a cd player you can count on ghd to offer nothing but his love of streaming....
