RE: Vintage Magnavox CDB492 CD Player - Impressive!

Condratulation on the great find.

Let me know what you think and what cdp you are comparing it to. It sounded great imediately but got better balanced and more detailed as time went on. It took mine a solid 24 hours to settle in after years of inactivity and I'm hoping it will continue to improve.

If you have a small star driver you should look at the inside. It is well designed. The entire circuit board is copper shielded. I took a Q-tip and light rubbing alcohol and cleaned all the easy to reach exposed resistor and cap leads. I don't know if that made a difference but it seamed clearer sounding after. I'd like to know if any mods can be done.

This cdp is a hidden gem. I'd really like to hear your feedback.
