I am looking to purchase a used cd player hopefully in the under $1000 price tag. Any advice would be great. Please note that SACD is not important to me but cdr playback is.
Glide, If you see a Sony 777es for $1000 or less, buy it for me please! I don't think that's going to happen anytime soon. However....if anyone has one there..... Good Luck!
would suggest marantaz sa-8260...i try to buy used when i can but pretty much all newer cd players will require service sometime due to reading errors/toc/transport issues. so gettigng one with a 3 year warranty is not a bad idea imo.
as far as the player goes.. the reviews are true. the redbook is incredible and very close to sacd (yes it is that good. the sacd is icing on the cake.
You can get an Arcam FMJ CD23T for close to that, and this is the route that I took for my office system. There are some killer new players in that price range, too. Look to the recent thread regarding Jolida JD 100 vs. Ah Njoe 4000 vs. Rotel 1072.
These are all very nice players that you should strongly consider. You may also be able to get a Theta Miles for close to that money, which is a stellar player.
