The best USED transport today - for under 500.00

Aiwa XC-37M 5 Disc Changer.. $50 to $60. Doubt it? Go to the Chicago Audio Society and see for yourself at... www.chicagoaudio.com ... and search using Aiwa

EAD T-7000 transport replaced my Proceed PDT-2 I was using it wasn't a hard decision whatsoever there's a considerable difference between them sonically

Woops...That link is www.chicagoaudio.org

The other one is a commericial site.

I have owned the Rotel and the Aiwa mentioned above and have tried the Audio Alchemy.
I still own a Parasound and will not sell it. The Parasound is much better. Smoother, richer, deeper bass.
If you get the Aiwa modified by Stan Warren, it will be a little bit better than the Rotel and AA, but still not quite up to the Parasound.

I use a Parasound C\DP-1000 as a Transport, and I love it! I've compared my Parasound to Marantz, EAD, and Rotel's, oh, and an Audio Alchemy drive, which I can't remember; this was back in '96....Anyway, Parasound Player/Transport's are awsome! Especially for the price. Their transport mechanisms are made by CEC, so what does that tell you! Very solid, and reliable!
