don't buy old CDP

66.241.132.98


Any cheap $120 SAMSUNG/PIONEER with a little bit of tweaking will leave old CDP in the dust. Perhaps even Sony SACD if you are lucky.
Add ART/DIO DAC ($125) sometime later and you have amazing sound for $250.

Good old CDP in less than $100 are not that numerous, often are overpriced. And they could be at the end of their useful life.

If you insist on old CDP, I'll would look for Philips/Magnavox 650, Adcom 575, older Rotel. NAD is not reliable.

For pride of ownership (and couple of C's more), Cambridge CD3, Pioneer PD-65, Marantz 94 and Philips 880
