Considering getting a CD player (again). Used? New? Criteria?
Avoid anything mechanical  if you are buying used as you have no idea how “used” it is.  If you must buy used, make sure the manufacturer is still providing transport mechanisms.  I had a Krell KAV 300cd with a VRDS Transport and it is now a boat ...

Is it possible to have vinyl nearly noise free?
I agree with what voice of vinyl says.  After spinning vinyl for over 50 years, I have used discwasher products, LAST products, a stylus cleaner and purchased a VPI 16.5 record cleaning machine.  The VPI was a godsend, especially for old records t...
