Early CD Player Recommendations?

Yes Chris it was optional...With one of those it can be proven that modern CD's have more errors than first generation discs..cos it's true.

Last proper Cambridge player the 'CD-2' was a good one 16bit machine this time, uses an handfull of TDA1541's aswell...

Umm, Pics of your Sony stack please. Pretty please.

I used to have a Technics SL-P10 until it broke. Very heavy, full of electronics, amazing player. I still have my first Cd player, a Marantz CD63B (the original that is, they should never have reused the name for a later model). Still in perfect working order and plays CDRs as well!

The result of a ten years' labour.

It's just for sharing ;)

Many players are missing here, such as a SONY dedicated rack which isn't on the pictures.
This shows more or less half of my collection.


Don't hesitate to comment!

Blimey!! thats some kind of cd player collection ... thats probably more cd players than the average person has actual cds!!

BLOODY HELL! I've never seen anything like it in my life! Amazing, thanks for sharing !

Hi!
I am quite busy at the moment, but I will post some more pictures

:)

I'm actually going to comment again, that really is very very impresive! Kudos on commitment to your cause!
What's the least and what's the most you have spent on a cd player? Does this corrolate with the best and worst quality? What would you say is the best value player in your collection, and what's your favorite?
I really hope you find someone to help you translate your site into English for you I can imagine it would make very interesting Reading!

Come on everyone, someone must know someone who could help this chap translate.. And all you old fuggys with your mag collections - get scanning those old reviews, this chap is obviously commited to this cause and I recon he desurves all the help he can get!

Dint we have some people on this forum who are involved with magazines, could you get old reviews to him? How about getting readers to dig out old reviews?

I am very sensitive to your post!

Here in France, people never really realised how difficult task it was to repair all these players. I worked very late in the evening for so many years to put this collection up!

Sorry again for my english!:o

I will reply to all your questions, in a humble way, as soon as I can.

Thanks a lot for all your comments. :grouphug:

:)

Your English is far, far better than my French so I wouldn't worry! Some people might even tell you your English is better than my English :)

Extraordinary collection Stan. I can understand the attraction! I have one of the nicest early CDPs I feel, in the XR-Z90, though the Kenwood LO3DP is a great looking deck too..

And the Technics SL-P10

I love those old vertical loading CDPs!

This is an astonishing collection Stan, I'm speechless and full of admiration for all this patient and useful work you've accomplished so far. :youtheman:
