Recommendations for a CD changer

[Alessio]

Hello,

I am slowly upgrading my 2-channel system and I'm now looking for a good CD player. I had an old Sony carousel CD changer that gave out (fortunately) so now I have an excuse to buy a new one Right now I am using a DVD player for my music the problem is that I have a separate system for music and home theater. I liked the 5 disc feature on the old Sony because I have the stereo on all the time that I am at home and I get frustrated having to go back and select another cd every hour or so

The CD player will go with my Onix 120 integrated amp and a pair of Ohm Walsh 100 MKII speakers. I appreciate any thoughts you all might have on what I should look for, new or used.

Thanks

Onkyo Dvcp-802

Check this unit out. I have one the audio sounds good and it is progressive output. I can say looks pretty good from the older panasonic it replaced and sounds much better. Good all in one for me.http://www.onkyousa.com/model.cfm?m=DV-CP802&class=DVD&p=i

Check this guy out. 299 usually less. Wolfson DAC's and a 3 year warranty. Very smooth and quiet mechanism. http://integrahometheater.com/model.cfm?m=CDC-3.4&class=CD&p=i


Pickin mine up next week. Could not believe the performance for the price.

Denon refurbs

If you are willing to take a chance on refurbished units, Ecost has some great deals on factory-refurbished Denon 5 disk players (DCM-380, DCM-280).

Why don't you try the Onix cd player on sale for 299. I believe this is made by Shandling and is almost exactly the same as the Music Hall 25 for half the money. If you can afford more a Marantz SA 8260 sounds excellent on Redbook and Sacd.

Hey everyone, thanks for the suggestions! You have given me some good leads! After I posted this message, I read the Audioholics review of the Yamaha DVD C750. Besides the fact that I would be wasting the DVD technolgy on a music-only system, do I gain/lose anything in sound quality by getting a universal dvd player over a cd player?

Anamorphic96, where did you find the Integra CDC 3.4 through a dealer or online?

Warnerwh: I really like the Onix integrated amp and so I checked their site for a cd player but I didn't see any multi disc unit. I am very tempted to pick up the cd player they have on sale because I am sure that it is a very good sounding player but I need a cd changer

Mine is through an authroized local dealer. Use the dealer finder to find a place near you.
