Hi,
I live in Bangkok, Thailand, and now want to have a CD Player to be a source for Stax 2170 system. I'm seeking for a used one, which would be more kind to my wallet. I have been searching about many ones which are considered as modern models because I worry about maintenance cost. However, a day before I have recognized about a great old thing named "Accuphase" (have never known about it before due to its position in the market; Accuphase is definitely a hiend brand). After searching about the brand, I felt very impressed and fascinated about its both sonic and cosmetic quality. A model that should suit my wallet would be DP-60, which was introduced in 1990, twenty-one years ago !! The price run around $900 here and I wonder why this old thing is still in a spot in the market. Digital product especially the CD player shouldn't have lasted so long like this (and same as other models of Accuphase, which are still active in the used market).
My budget is around $900. Used Rega Apollo, Moon CD.5 and Audiolab 8200CD(quite rare) is now my choices for modern CD players. There're not very much products sold here and now I'm still not familiar to CD players market because I have never had one before. If the old DP-60, or other modern players work to, I will add them in my book.
But have to repeat again that I'm very scared about maintenance cost.
Thank you
