Wanted CD Transport

[isobarik]

Looking for a not too costly CD transport. My Marantz KI signature has given up the ghost once again! I've replaced the laser assembly at least twice since I first bought the machine but no more! I noticed that SLS ' Steven' a forum member on here' mentioned in a different thread he has a Tascam CD-200 in his loft.https://theartofsound.net/forum/show...st-London-area
Something like that would do me. Must have a Coax output.
I've sent Steven a P.M. but as of yet not had a reply.

Regards
Ray

Good afternoon, might this be of interest? Selling on behalf of a friend, he’d be interested in your thoughts on price if the unit suits.

Cheers Jake, a little more than I would like to pay. Prefer a transport only and need a break from Marantz!
Thank you for replying though.

I thoroughly recommend the Cambridge CXC transport. I moved from a Marantz CD to the CXC and really heard the improvements in SQ. There was one for sale on AOS last week but it may well have sold. Richer Sounds sell them at a good price.

I use CD players as transports, which can be easier to find than dedicated transports. For a cheap solution I like the Sony CDP-XB930 - one of their CD with the puck. There's one on UK ebay at the moment.



On my main system I use a Rega Apollo R which does a good job for me. The R has not been replaced with the Apollo CDP, and I think that's a good option if you don't want to spend a lot on a new player.

Thanks for the info Rob.
It's not what i'm really after.
But I've taken note of the Rega players you mentioned.
No doubt something will turn up.

Hi Ian.
Two of the players have been sold. One left I think but a little more than I want to pay. I'm hoping SLS will login to the forum.
Thanks for the input though.

There aren't a great many dedicated transports out there, curious as to why it has to be a transport rather than a CD player which can output to spdif?
