A Low Cost Pleasant Sounding Used CD Player?

I have a couple of Musical Fidelity CD players that I bought inexpensively used and sound nice and detailed.The most I paid was $500.00 for a big beast , the A5, their cd player from some time ago. I am not using them now, but you could do worse. If my current option failed me, I'd switch back to the MF's without hesitation.

Best of luck out there. You have many options to choose from.

The Cambridge CXC Transport is often available direct from Cambridge as a refurb at a great price. The V1 and V2 of the CXC are sonically identical...for 1 or 2 CD's a month, an old DVD player as a transport sometimes can work great...

Sorry, I didn’t mean to be accusatory at all but was just confused but you cleared it up. My bad for not understanding.  I wish you the best of luck in finding a good transport. 

Sony or Pioneer Elite. Look for a good transport (CD spinning system/design)

Whatever the OP chooses, he might want to research whether the laser mechanism can be replaced if it fails. There are a number of good CD players and transports out there, wherein the laser mechanism is no longer available. Essentially guaranteeing a boat anchor if the laser fails.
