Pioneer elite pd-65 or modified dvd/cd player
I have owned two of the PD 65's.I am always surprised to audition the latest cd players and come home to my $350 PD 65.Buy one- if you don't like it- sell it.You may be out the shipping.tracer 
Best Component Ever, for the money
Alon II speakers.I have never heard anything better for the money.Bought mine here for $500.There is a pair right now available for $575. 
Why buy older digital gear?
Listen to a Pioneer PD 65 again and see what you think.tracer

Good Stuff Cheap
System Audio Speakers-any of them.I own the 950 mini towers,as a second set.(Primary speakers are Alon II).If you are objective you have to admit that Audio is a business of diminishing returns like no other.tracer
