I bought a Pioneer PD-65 CD player (with Stable Platter mechanism) from a liquidator for around $275 about ten years ago. I thought it was a great transport, and sold it for around $350. You can find Pioneer Elite BDP-09 FD Blu-ray Disc Players (MSRP:$2200) these days for a few hundred dollars. They are beautiful, well-built and they will make your CDs sound wonderful. It's slow to load, but worth waiting for.
? on Pioneer CD players from the past, anyone still using one of these
PIONEER ELITE DV-79AVI and the PD-65 were good players for me when I had them. Anyone still using them? If so, how have they aged sonically? I am sorry that I am asking about some old items, but in putting together a 2nd system I am re-thinking some items I have had in the past. Like the Magnum Dynalab 208 receiver. Thanks for your tolerance....and laughter.
