  response audio has two pre-owned jolida 603's that are on their website right now-great sound, so-so build quality and I can't imagine the price being much over $250.00 for one if that -I own one and am in no way shape or form blah blah blah

    Dear Dennie by way of Eric the Red,

    I wholeheartedly concur re the Jolida CD-603. I have one that I modified with a pair of Mullard M8137's (communication ver. of 12AX7) and a pair of WestCap 1uF/400V PIO caps in the audio opt section which is, indeed, an opt section and not just a buffer section for op amps like so many tubed CD players. It's sound, once broken in, is awesome to my ears!!

    YMMV,

    Byzen

    What would the address be for response audio???A few other people said to check out the Joilda..My main source is that black disk, If I need to go over 500 I can but not too much..
    The MOD squad has been a great player but it's starting to show it's age, thanks for all the info...dennie

      www.responseaudio.com Look in the used/demo section-with some good tubes you could stay WAY under $500.00 and believe me, you won't find anything that will touch it for under $500.00-hope this helps

  I use a Dynaco ProCD tube CD player that I am very happy with, You should be able to find one used for under $500. It also plays HDCD's...

  You could shop for used players and keep under your price limit. For new players, check out the following although slightly higher than your budget:

  Aha! Njoe Tjoeb 4000 ($579) from upscaleaudio.com

  Heart CD5000 ($545) from fsaudioweb.com

  Best of luck!
