Inexpensive CD Player


Hi Everyone:

My sister's Rotel RCD-855 finally went belly up. I'd like to get her a replacement CD player for around $200-300 that is well built and reliable. Sound quality is not as importance as reliability and longevity. Used or new is fine. The rest of her system is a Rotel integrated amp and a pair of Spendor bookshelf speakers. Thanks.

How odd that you should mention the Rotel RCD-855, I have one that was given to me as a favor, a reward for helping a friend sell off extra audio gear.

I hooked the Rotel up a few days ago, needing something after having sold my Oppo BDP-83. The Oppo was more extended and higher resolution at the extremes but the Rotel was the one that came closer to opening my heart to the music.

I hope for your sake sound is not as important as reliability, especially should Sister be blessed with acute hearing and value for music.

Please post results.
