Ok, I've done a bit of research, but not a whole lot. I want a home-based CD Player, but for $225-$300 Cdn. maximum. That works out to be about $175-$200 in US dollars... Buying over the internet isn't an option for me. Neither is buying in the US...... Canada only.... Oh well.
After a little bit of consideration, Sony CD Players seem to be my best choice. I've read good reviews of the DVP-NS500V, and was pretty much sold on it. Then I started considering my options in the Sony lineup. Audio is my main priority, but a few features would be very useful too.
I do not need SACD. It's completely useless to me.
DVD would be nice, as would MP3 compatibility. Neither one is necessary, though.
Here is my list so far:
***DVP-NS500V - CD, DVD, SACD (single disc) [$248 CDN/$157 US]
***SCD-CE775 - CD, SACD (5 disc) [$250 CDN/$158 US]
***DVP-NS315 - CD, DVD, MP3 (single disc)
***DVP-NS415 - CD, DVD, MP3 (single disc)
***DVP-NC615 - CD, DVD, MP3 (5 disc)
DVP-NS715 - CD, DVD, MP3 (single disc)
DVP-NS755V - CD, DVD, SACD, MP3 (single disc)
DVP-NC655 - CD, DVD, MP3 (5 disc)
The *** indicates that the CDP is easy to get at a good price for me.
Basically, what I was hoping you fellow head-fiers might be able to help me with is:
Do any of you have any suggestions as to if there are any items on the current list that I should avoid? Are there any other CDP's under $300 CDN [$175/$200 US] that I should add to the list?
I do not intend to go over the budget, and there's no way you can make me, so don't even try. (I know how you guys are.
)
Can anyone here give me any thoughts of sound quality of any of the CDP's listed?
Sorry about the rambling, and the many, many questions, but as I said, I haven't done too much research.
Thanks Head-fier's.
[edit: My budget is $225-$300 CDN maximum ---- about $150-$200 US. I can't spend any more than that, nor do I want to. I'm only 16 years old.]
