For three years I have had an inexpensive Sony 200 disk player. Love the convenience but want better sound. Do they have a good Carrousel player out there for under a thousand bucks? Saw an add for the Sony DVP-cx777es, looks great but does it sound any good?
Well, if you don't have to have a carrousel, look at the anthem CD-1. There was one posted here just a couple days ago. It's a six disc changer, elevator style. It sounds very good.
You know part of this equation is your d/a playback equip. I have several systems and have high quality single disc players for individual play. I also have distributed audio in which I use sony multidisc players. I do not use the decoding capabilities of these players but rather run them through my surround preamps for decoding. The only time can discern a major difference is when I compare that sound to a hide end single disc player, which is superior. Bottom line for all your playback in my mind is the preamp decoder.
I had a Sony SCD-C555ES SACD/CD player that had a 5-disc carousel that was fantastic. If you search around I believe that you will find many opinions of the same nature.
