High Reliability CD Changer wanted for Home Audio (200 or 300 compact disc)

[tiefbassuebertr]

A friend of me is looking for a high quality device in that kind. Presently the SONY models CDP-CX335 and CDP-CX230 (with KSS-213C in KSM213CCM mechanism) are in use. The disadvantage here is the fact, that the damping rubber rings for suspension deform through vertical operation of the turntable. As consequence there are grinding noises audible while cd rotates. Sometimes the braking effect is too large for going in TOC. Additional the optical pickup isn't really reliable at long-term consideration.
Therefore he is looking for a better choice. Unfortunately most changers for PCM compact disc are only appropriate for a small amount of discs.
Until know I know only this:

1) NSM 3101 with CDM-4 industrial mechanism - contains unfortunately only 100 disc

2) The Pioneer models PD-F1007, PD-F1009 and DV-F07 mentioned under
Adrian-Kingston.com - CD Changers
could also be a better choice. But I haven't experience.

Are there other interesting models (maybe from Madrigal or Procceed)?

Worth consideration ... Sony DVP CX 777 ES 400 disc capacity plays dvd + sacd 's .
Around $2000 new about 3 years ago probably get for $ 500 used.
For cd only Sony CDP CX 455 ... 400 disc capacity .
Alternatively one of the older Pioneers that use 6 disc cartridges and some extra cartridges that could be pre-loaded ready to swop ? I owned a couple in the 90's , can 't remember models but good sound and reliable .

Any news?

Thank you but, unfortunately this model suffers under the same issue as mentioned at the models in post #1,

All units of this type where the Discs are inserted vertically will have some sort of rubber mounting for the Traverse Mechanism and all will therefore eventually suffer from the rubber deforming.

Certainly the Pionner does, I don't know about the NAD but if the discs are inserted vertically then it will also.

I satisfy these criteria. I am highly reliable (ask my wife 😉), have a Home and also an Audio system, and I have about 200 to 300 CDs...

Oh, I nearly forgot: I can change CDs professionally...

For that amount of music, a NAS with redundant discs and a accompanying streamer, or a mulitmedia PC with the CDs ripped and stored on an internal disc will be much more reliable.
