For 90% CD listening?

I bought the Pioneer DV-58AV after Kal Rubinson's review in July's Stereophile. SACD play back is excellent and the best CD playback I have had. It plays all formats (but not BlueRay).
It's on Videogon for $319 + shipping.
I bought mine right when it came out. Dealer had never seen or heard one and ordered one for me. We hooked it up at the dealer and were pretty amazed right out of the box. It retailed for $500, I got it for $475. This was in Nov. 2007.
For $319, I'm tempted to get another one.
My pick of used players is the SONY DVP-S9000ES. An extremely well built machine that seems to be being dumped by the videophiles who are going over to BlueRay. They now go for almost nothing on Ebay, yet they have great sound as they are, but also have HUGE Upgrading potential!
Regards, Allen
The price was much less than I was ready to spend.

$189 plus shipping ($35). Just seconds before ending 'sniper' did his, and raised $20 from 169.

I just sold mine on Audiogon for $350. It was in pristine condition.

It was in storage for last couple of years. I broke it out about 3 months ago and hooked it into my system. Sounded pretty good, but I already have a couple of other players. So while it was still functioning flawlessly, I decided to sell it.
Hi Allen;
I followed the little thread about the Sony DVP-9000ES player, I must
assume that you are amazed or can not understand why anyone would get
rid of that model.Do they not pay any real attention to the Asylum??
I too thought all know that your upgrade of that and 2 other models
compete or win overall compared to possibly anything at or under
$10,000? Maybe there is hope, just maybe. Keep up the faith and efforts.
I understand that it is a desirable model to mod. But, I look at it as a six-seven year old piece of hardware that can have the laser/transport or any number of things go out at any time.
