NOSValves Posted April 22, 2002 Share Posted April 22, 2002 Okay first off let me make this clear !!!!! I'm not looking for a High Dollar audiophile type CD Deck. Here is what I'm after. I'm looking for a CD changer to use that will have descent sonic quality's and be able to shuffle a descent amount of discs like say 50 to 200 as in 50 being the minimum. I want this for casual listening when I do serious listening its Vinyl all the way. I currently have a Sony DVD drive that to me sounds real good thru my Tube Amps. But its in my HT setup and I need something for my workshop/2 channel setup. The current out dated Sony CDP315 is just plain lousy and doesn't like burned disc and is real near taking a dump on me. So give me some option what's the best buy dollar to sound quality wise. My birthday is nearing and I'll have my wife get me one.

dougdrake Posted April 22, 2002 Share Posted April 22, 2002 Craig - I have a Pioneer Elite PDF-19, which I picked up on clearance for $300. It does a great job, and looks great too with the wood side panels and shiny black front. Their non-Elite model is pretty much the same, without the fancy trim and the "Legato Link" conversion, whatever that is. I am using 7 of the 10 categories on it, and I can place disks in multiple categories (unlike the Sony, which only permits a disk to be in one category). Works great for background music, plays CD-R and DTS-Audio disks. Doug ------------------ My System Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisK Posted April 23, 2002 Share Posted April 23, 2002 I have an Arcam MCD changer. While it holds only 6 cd's at a time, it's the best sounding changer I auditioned (Sony, CAL, Pioneer, etc., etc.). It's just about the best trade off between sonics and convenience you can find. They go for $600+ new. Mine was a store demo that was factory certified with a full warranty. I paid $400 plus tax. BTW, it does make strange noises when shuffling discs. Typical British gadgetry I assume.
