Philips CD-80-a good deal?


I found a used (9 years old) Philips CD-80 for $345. I like this unit, but realize there are other units on the used market that are newer and cheaper. Is this unit worth the $$ or should I consider other used units which cost less, sound better, etc.

$300 would be more like it, but, with the age of this unit if the laser pick up goes out it will cost you more to fix it than it's worth. Also, an inexpensive transport can sound as good as most of the best transports with the addition of a Genesis digital lens which can be had used for about $650-$800.

Pioneer 414 DVD/CD player is cheap and good (and better than the Philips CD-80.
