1014.0. "WHICH CD PLAYER ?? HELP" by SHIRE::DIRK () Wed Dec 16 1987 06:11

    Hello,
    
    
    I would like to buy a CD player between 300$ - 600$, but I really
    don't know which one to buy, because they are so many CD player.
    If I listen to the salesman he suggest me 3 CD players :
    
    1) DENON CD600 or CD800
    2) PHILIPS CD670 
    3) SONY EDP M50
    
    What do you think about these 3 CD players or do you have a better
    suggestion for this price ?? Fiability and sound quality is my first
    interest.
    
    Thanks and regards,
    
    Dirk

	Personally, I really like my Denon DCD600. I got it for $229. Seems to have a fair number of features and good access time.
1014.2	More info than you might need....	FACT01::LAWRENCE	Jim/Hartford A.C.T.,DTN 383-4523	`Wed Dec 16 1987 08:57`	14
	Hi, you might also consider the Denon DCD1500II, it's quite good. Also, the Magnavox 650 is excellent. Magnavox is the American subsidary of Phillips who co-invented the CD with Sony. Also, I am a regular in the AUDIO notesfile and the hotest topic this season has been "what is the best CD player for X$". You will find a wealth of info there on this subject. It's DSSDEV::AUDIO Regards, Jim
1014.3	Dealing on Denon	GENRAL::SEAGLE	44% of statistics are meaningless	`Wed Dec 16 1987 16:20`	8
	Furthermore, since Denon has replaced the DCD-1500 with the "New and Improved" DCD-1500-II, I've seen the old 1500 on sale for as little as $450 (list is something like $650). If you don't mind the slightly older model/implementation you may be able to swing some sort of deal. FWIW, David.
