So an update for my quest for a decent old CD player.

a mate lent me a bog standard Marantz CD63, which took the panic off finding something quickly. I then found a Rotel 965BX on Ebay for a very reasonable £35, and I have to say it sounds lovely...and appears very tweak-able, should I desire to throw money at it.

Of course, having not been interested in buying gear for years (I figured my Quad Amp, and ESL 63 should last a lifetime, with the odd ongoing repair), I now find myself looking at DAC's, the ability to play via USB, etc etc.

A topic for a different thread, but I have enjoyed looking at all of the old stuff, I think I would get a Marantz KI CD if one popped up, just because they have become so legendary, quite like to see what the fuss is all about.
