What is the best sounding CD Changer.


I am looking for the best sounding CD changer in the $250 to $500 price range. This is primarily for entertaining and background music with the goal of putting in 5 or more discs, hitting a shuffle button and getting 6 plus hours of music. SACD would be a plus but not required. Best sound possible at that pricepoint is the primary goal. After a frustrating afternoon trying to find reliable information on-line, I thought I had a solution with the NAD C515BEE but turned out to be a single disc player. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Used OK?

How about a used Sony SCD-C333ES? Originally priced at $1200, Sony later dropped the price to $600 when they had stopped production and then Good Guys cleared them for $400. (I bought a demo model for $330).

If someone is selling one of these on AudiogoN they probably got it at the reduced price and would let it go for a couple of hundred. This 5-disc machine plays SACDs and replacement laser blocks are still available to ensure long life. For a changer, this machine is built very well.

Regards,
