I'm in the market for a new CD player. Not willing to
spend more than 500£, what's your advice?

If there are some good options with price tag
significantly lower than 500£, they would be welcome.


PLEASE listen to several models around 20% of that price
before assuming more money will buy better sound.

Agreed.

If someone wants to drop big bucks (relatively speaking), try whatever
Pioneer is selling this week as a universal (CD, DVD, DVD-A, SACD) player.
I think the magic model number is up around DV-588 by now.

$165 here
http://store.buycodefreedvd.com/pidvddvdvdir.html for a region free one or $135
for region 1.
