Are we, and have we for some time, been in the era of throwaway CD players?

That's my all time favourite CDP. Well, that and the Tascam 601/701

As for modern CDPs with cd-Rom drives, from what I've heard, the only people who can get these to work properly for CD only replay is Meridian. Most of the 'audiophile' players out there these days seem to be like Bugattis with 4cylinder diesel engines under the bonnet. It's no wonder they're here today gone tomorrow.

Hi Kris,

Welcome to AoS!

As for modern CDPs with cd-Rom drives, from what I've heard, the only people who can get these to work properly fro CD only replay is Meridian. Most of the 'audiophile' players out there these days seem to be like Bugattis with 4cylinder diesel engines under the bonnet.

I think that you and I are going to get on very well

We'll have a good chat later, when I've got more time. In the meantime, get stuck in (as you're doing) and enjoy!

Marco.

P.S Andre, aye, who'd buy that Jap crap, eh?

Marco.
