Where the exact same same thing went for £265 + £15 P&P only last
night!!

Some people have simply more money than sense. ;-)



Out of interest, what would you consider to be *sensible* money for a new
and a secondhand CDP?

Any particular makes/models come to mind?

For a CD63 any flavour, £80 tops IMO...



I wouldn't disagree - see he

I have level matched (courtesy of the attenuation capability in the Marantz)
and time aligned (see the displays) two CDPs - the Marantz and the CD/MP3
player in an Argos POS stack that I have recently bought for the express
purpose of comparing modern *budget* with older/pricier/'named' stuff.

Playing 'identical' CDs (original and copy) and flicking between them at the
press of a button, I *CANNOT* tell one from the other!! (Either on the Argos
POS amp direct, or Line Out to a very revealing amp/speaker
combination.....)

The Argos (Acoustic Solutions SP122) is 79.99....

(My gun, my foot - *BANG*....!! ;-)
