A Low Cost Pleasant Sounding Used CD Player?


My ancient Linn Majik CD player has recently died. I only play a CD maybe once or twice a month, though I do have hundreds of them.

Any recommendations for an inexpensive good sounding replacement player? Thank you in advance...

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. 

I have a Sony UBP-X800M2 that I use for video (movies and concert videos). It works well for that, but I don't like it for sacd or cd playback.  Unless something is wrong with mine (I don't think there is), there is no display on the unit.  You have to use a TV to see what's playing, etc.  Some folks might be OK with that.
