All my one box CD players have been purchased new or demo. Never had one in the shop for anything (quickly knocks on wood) and every one of them was purchased used or demo.Even the very first one I bought in 1991, a Pioneer that was just for yocks in the party room - is still working in a friends system.
Arcam Alpha 8
Arcam Alpha 9

Cal Icon w/Power BossI still have the last one in my office system. Doesn't sound too bad although it's hardly a youngster.

How can this be? Please explain.....
I bought the CD 192T after a lot of auditioning. It is the best-all-round sounding, most troublefree operating digitally filtered CDP i have ever owed. My 10-yr old Marantz 67SE Sig has also never skipped a beat although i did recently replace the RCA jacks.
My Arcam Alpha 8 is about 6 years old, gets a LOT of use, and has never let me down.
Now if I can just hang a better quality used DAC off it....open to suggestions on this.
Cheers, Impoverished
Cd 92 and a cd 92t,have worked perfect,they never skip on any disc you play on them ever.Classic players if there ever was.
Harmonia,I've had constant nightmares for a year and a half with my Denon DVD-5900!!! Supposedly a top of the line model with a defected transport mechanism..!!! and was purchased NEW!!

I had a Denon 1600. Stopped working just after the warranty period expired. Fortunately, I had the extended warranty. After 2 months in the shop it worked for another 4 months before going faulty again. I threw it out. No more Denons for me.
