158.0. "Any CD that is 11 3/4 inch wide?" by TRIVIA::CHAN () Fri Aug 02 1985 10:13

I have a Technics stereo in my bedroom that I'd like to buy a CD for.
I've had the set from college and the reason I bought it was because it
was small.  I'd like to find a CD that matches in size.  The width of
this Technics set is 11 3/4 inches.  Does anyone have any CD listings
that I can look at to see if any are appropriate for a bedroom sized
strereo?

	Nearly all audio manufacturers have standardized on a width of about 17 inches, which is the "19 inch rack mount" width. I don't ever recall seeing a CD player signifcantly narrower than that other than the D-5. Steve

	My Magnavox FD1040 is approximately that wide. (I got mine at Service Merchandise. I don't know if they still carry them. Somebody a couple of notes back said he had gotten one for $180. I paid $197 for mine. Good machine. Not too many bells and whistles but well made and NICE sound.) Dick Rosenberg

	Not sure what the width is, but I think one of the Pioneer units (if not THE Pioneer unit) is much narrower than most, I saw it at Lechmere's in Framingham. Good Luck, -Dave

	I've seen a little Yamaha about that size. I don't remember the model number. Full list was about $400.

	The Technics SL-P7 was narrow - around 12 inches wide. I have one.
