    I struggle with great 'blocks' of writing. I've read it, but some paragraphing would be good.

    And yes, some old CD players can be very nice. Grab a Meridian 206 or Pioneer PD-S505 Precision and you'll see what I mean.

    I haven't used this for a while now, I'm have been and will be spending the next few months ripping my CD collection, plus I've got a new little project for what there is of my spare time Would you still like to try it?

    The mags, dealers and makers never disabuse anyone of this myth because they want people buying the latest bit of kit, which is always better than what went before of course.
    I remember recording most of my early cd acquisitions to audio cassette because they sounded so awful when payed back on my Marantz CDP.

    I'm not saying I have heard every vintage cd player, not by a long chalk. There could well be some stinkers out there amongst the multitude. My interest these days is only in the flagship pieces of that era which I think are worth revisiting with an open mind.
