    Default Top CD player wanted

    Looking for something special - new or vintage, in top condition to finally dip my toes back into digital. Anything looking for a new home?

    There's a nice 2 box player on pfm going for a very good price, I forget the name.

    Just checked it's a Resolution Audio Opus 21.

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    Hi Adrian

    I think you should also consider getting separate transport and DAC, The transport could be a player with digital out. In this way you have much greater scope to get things exactly as you wish.

    The problem is I know nothing about current technology, not having owned a player for around 20 years! Happy for a 2 box solution.

    Check that one on pfm, seems like a great price, if I had the money I would get it (no connection).

    Yep, ridiculous bargain at that price. I had one for years and only sold when I downsized. It has a digital in so can be used as a dac too.

    Do you know where he is located? If one of us could collect and post it on it would save the £50 domestic cost.

    Try a Bel Canto transport and DAC CD player, very nice sounding and great build quality.
