gnatnoop Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 you might look for a used cambridge audio cd player, not sure if you can hit your $100 price point but you should be able to get close... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tube fanatic Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 If your dad doesn't mind a changer, the Sony SCD-CE595 is an incredible value for a street price of around $125. The sound of this unit is beyond phenomenal and approaches that of my friend's Wadia Model 6, one of the best sounding CD players ever made. Buy from a place like J & R music and you can return it if not satisfied. I've used one as a source when designing and restoring tube amps and it has never taken me in the wrong direction!

Make sure you get the remote with it ! a remote is important. I looked on the used market for cambridge, not alot of used. I will keep looking at audiogon, and for one of the other davis spoke about. This gives me a head start on my search. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How are the 970s or 971s. I have no personal experience but those were the first generations of Oppo and are what put them on the map so to speak. They have all received great reviews.

tube fanatic Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 Be careful if you purchase a used player as you have no idea how much abuse the transport has taken. We had many come through the shop which were supposedly "minimally used," only to develop transport problems shortly after. To me, it isn't worth taking the chance unless you know the person you are purchasing from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted April 11, 2010 Author Share Posted April 11, 2010 what is the transport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mighty Favog Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 That is a drawer mechanism that comes out and pulls in the CD as well as the mountings and parts that move the laser assembly. All the gears, springs, rods, etc. must not be too worn and well lubricated where need be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
