HiFi Subjectivist ¦ Audio Forum ¦ NVA User Group

I have a 100+ CDs, all bought to play in my car before streaming came about. I am now embarking on building a 2nd system for my home office using old NVA kit and want a CD player to be part of this system. I am aware of a number forum members who have modified their CD players and I am willing to try to mod any player I buy. Budget is circa £250 ish. Thanks in advance Paul

If you buy a Naim CD3.5 i can talk you through any modifications here.

These mods would mostly be transferable to other cdp's.

You can have mine if you pay postage. Its a sony 351 (I think)

Get yourself a Cambridge CXC CD transport from Richer Sounds and use a DAC of you choice.

+1.
The best transport you can get without paying the earth.

I found a Kenwood DP4090 for 30 euros in a thrift shop. Awesome CDP.
Another recommendation is the Arcam Diva series: CD62 or 72.

There are a couple in your price range on HiFi for sale. Otherwise try e bay. Most sellers will be open to offers in my experience.

Good luck.

Thank you to one & all. Getting just a transport never occurred to me so thats something I am going to look in to. This forum is a wonderful place for someone like who is rediscovering music after a substantial lay off
