Take a look at the "elekit" here on audiogon. its a kit so you have to build it yourself, but looks like fun! 360.00 new. i don't know anything about it, I just saw it in an ad. It looks pretty small, maybe just the ticket.
Looking for small size CD player
I just purchased a vintage Proton 300/301 stereo table radio w/ powered second speaker for use in a bookshelf and am looking to add a small CD player that will match this terrific-sounding, but modest receiver. Chief constraints are size (<10 in. deep) and price (<$300). Any suggestions?
