Now that I've built my Zigmahornets (see the FR Gallery) and they've been well received by SWMBO, a need has now been expressed for an "unobtrusive" CD player.
The standard format box player is really too large (even the low-profile ones), so I'm thinking something in a mini or midi format would be visually satisfactory, BUT I want something that has pretensions to high fidelity. I don't want a "walkman" style player. I don't want a mini / midi that looks the part but sounds like crap. I want to buy second-hand. (Perhaps a midi system, and just junk the speakers?) Can anyone suggest any feasible options? (Photos or links please.) * Is the TEAC L700P(?) system worth consideration? Thanks Doug

That is a very attractive bit of kit. Available locally here, but the price is ~AUS$1,000 new. Ouch! Doug

There are quite a few old Philips machines in midi sized cases (eg CD160 etc.) They have TDA1541 (A and non A) and can be modified to sound very good indeed.

The NAD C715 is a bit cheaper than the CA One.
AUS$695. Can anyone comment on their performance.

Olden Denon models are an option too.
