cd player suggestions

I used to own a bluenote koala cd player. Now i need help finding a comparable replacement without breaking the bank.

Based on a rough stab at your budget i'd recommend a 2nd hand Modwright Sony XA-5400ES sacd player. That is a giant killer & will allow you to experiment with NOS tubes in future. A good 2.5yr old example recently sold on the 'Gon for $1990.
