110.0. "DENON DCD 1700" by DUB01::POCONNELL (out of Hiberni(ation)) Thu Aug 10 1989 18:43

         I'm considering moving from an Akai CD-A7 to a Denon DCD 1700.
         the dealer will allow me to try it at home on my existing set-up.
         it sounded impressive in the shop (but what doesn't??!!). 
         
         Any thoughts/experience of the Denon?

    I am pleased with my Denon DCD 1700. I bought it in preference to
    the Marantz 85 and the Arcam ??, though that was before the 1520
    became available. You should expect to get it at a good price now
    it is a discontinued model. (have seen one very recently at 434
    pounds.       
    It sounds good and works well. On a couple of occasions there has
    been mistracking, but only when I have powered it up with a CD already
    in the drawer and pressed "play" immediately. It seems to prefer
    a few seconds to prepare itself.
