+1 on old heavy duty CD players and turn on, hit play, enjoy. (but sometimes I have to wait for the tubes to warm up)

What's amazing is that they both play CD-R's perfectly, despite their age.
Ha! I remember the K2 thing! I wonder, was that the only JVC that had that? Nice machine.
My system at university was a Marantz CD85, Audiolab 8000A and JPW Sonata speakers. The CD85 was an aural/visual treat with it's syrupy `analogue' sound and metal alloy chassis.
I remember purchasing the CD85 and 8000A second hand from Oxford Audio Consultants for £550. The Sonatas were new from Audio-T for about £90. When our student parties became raucous we'd crank up the volume and belt out AC/DC `Whole Lotta Rosie' which blew a Sonata driver on three separate occasions. The third time that Audio-T returned the speaker to JPW for driver replacement (which was free) it came back with a note from the factory politely requesting that I "Moderate my volume level when listening".
Happy times and a great sounding CD player!
Cleaned up my Marantz CD-52 SE and installed the new CDM4 gear. Working a treat, sometimes the draw sticks a little, but i guess it will be fine over time, hasn't been used in a long time, also could be the belt is a little loose.
Either way I love it, and the Coax out is a bonus.
Will post pics at some point
