Wanted... CDP

[farflungstar]

Now that my vinyl front end is out of service for the foreseeable future I'm interested in a CDP. Must be a Sony/Phillips/Marantz 'top of the line' model from their heyday. PM if you have anything in the cupboard!

Philips CD850

Added in 2012 after the extensive review was written – not included in overall comparisons
1991, CDM4/19, 2x SAA7321GP. Even though internally this is sort of a better CD624, with same build but more components, this one really surprised me with its super creamy-smooth-luscious midrange and super-silky treble. Bass is big and deep and the soundstage is XXL. This is luxuriousness like I only know it from the CD94, and this is in stock form – no mods! Despite its smoothness and almost loudness-like character, it is very detailed and well-paced. It just never shouts and doesn’t do agression, ever

Budget ??

[farflungstar]

Budget ??That's a difficult one. I'm not sure if going digital will be permanent but I can see it being my main source for at least a year so I'm happy to spend a bit.

I dont want modern hyper detailed realism....

Hmmm

Rpi and volumio will import qoboz or tidal etc. Cheap as chips

I'm using one of these right now and have no desire to swap it out for one of my high end players. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/202586008462 on the smooth side of detailed but not pipe and slippers. Plays SACDs too. Cheap enough to take a punt on.

Pioneer PD-91 ;)I didn't like it at the time, drool worthy looks though. I had a top of the line Phillips at the time I think, with the sticky out controls but can't remember the model. It was exceptional.

I just sold my Marantz CD94mk2 (as long as he turns up tomorrow that is) now that is the sort of machine that would tide you over for a year or more.

Embarassing as this may sound I've never played or heard my PD-91 properly, I'm just too obsessed with the vinyl end of things - It does look fab on the rack though :D
