spending less than 300$ is not a problem

Bricolo, gpapag is right!

A friend of mine had the same CD-Player and it's a realy good player for the .

Think about it, you can also look at Ebay.

the rotel or the philips?

Since you are for a new CD, i proposed the Philips. But if you love Rotel, you may find them for 100-150 Euro second hand. They will be 7-8 years old though!

THE PHILIPS

AF.

 

[tbla]

your budget doesn't allow for a great cdplayer.....face it!!!!!!
but the cdpro2 will get you started.....!
a "descent" player will set you back 3000 euro ++++ at least.

someone told me about the SONY SCD-XE670, I can find it for 230$

how good is it?

Please, be wise and let your ears decide!!!!

Bricolo, did you have a look here : http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=7126&highlight=pioneer+pd206 ?
I have to admit that I haven´t compared a lot; especially not alot expensive ones (but for example some studer machines)
but I really like my Pioneer PD-206.
The time when I bought it I didn´t have much cash; otherwise I would have bought the one from Pioneer where you put the CD´s upside down in. Can´t remember the model (PD60x??). I like the CD-unit of it

And yes, trust your ears.

So, in your opinion, Hi-Fi is destined to be enjoyed by the richies only!
And what about the rest of us?

there is no good cdplayers............why do you think that some people still use turntables???????????

Dear tbla,

With all due respect, I totally disagree with you!
I'm the owner of an Oracle Delphi and have also a CD-Player. I had a Wadia and now I have a TEAC VRDS 25X The reason is very simple; it's the way the player makes you feel (sonicaly wise). Thats why I evetualy trade the Wadia 8/15 combination for the TEAC/Krell SBP-64X combination. And yes!!!! LP's are superior to the newer (digital)vertion CD. never the less, I enjoy every single second of both! So take it easy my friend!
Enjoy music no matter how!

i did own a teac wrds 25 x.........if this player isn't modified it doesn't sound good at all.
put a new masterclock in it, and etc etc - then things starts to rock.
best regards,
troels

 

[tbla]

oh i forgot......this is a wery expensive system you have there.....

 

[Audiofanatic]

yes! But I also enjoy the Philips CD 723.
That's my second CD-Player you probably dit not expect that!
The sound (After some modifications)is almost the same as the old Wadia 8.
Don't be like that
I'v learned alot by trying to do the inpossible.
