Good sounding carrousel cd player??


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?

Yep, I agree with the 2 guys above me. I compared the CL-10 to the Rotel RCC-1055 I posted about previously. The CL-10 is better made, has a smoother carousel mechanism, and sounds better, although, the disply on the CL-10 is antiquated. And, the CL-10 is scarce as it is no longer made because Cal Lab has folded up.
I have an old Parasound 5-disc player that I thought was by far the best sound of any I tested. I think it is a great buy used for about $250. I have had mine for 5 years and it is still running great. I have a Meridian 588 which is awesome but for parties and events I still use the Parasound.
The Aiwa X37, uses the same transport as the Wadia...(Teac), as least that is what I am told.
A friend of mine likes Cal labs but she has lots of problems with them. She has an Icon 2 and a CL-15 and both have had 3 costly repairs EACH and since the company is history, getting them fixed isn't too easy. She said she will throw in the towel the next time one of them quits and get somthing else. I listened to them at her house and they did sound good - on par with my system (Sony CA80ES 5-disc with McIntosh/Paradigm ref). Her system was very different however so I shouldn't compare too much. I would like to audition the RCC-1055 but haven't had the chance yet so I didn't mention it above. I believe the previous model, Rotel RCC-955, was reviewed pretty well too. Arthur
I heard an Adcom changer with a Bel Canto DAC, through a very nice system (Sonic Frontiers and B&W N802). It was awful. Not that it made any ugly noises, it was just boring and non-musical. Changing to an Anthem CD-1 showed an immense improvement in every way; detail, soundstage and especially musicality. If I wanted a changer, that's what I'd get. A good DAC won't save a mediocre carousel.
