Cd player upgrade

[Old Adders]

Hi All
I’m running quite an old system mission Cyrus 3 plus pxr Ruark talisman speakers and an arcam alpha 5 cd player which has just given up the ghost, could replace with like for like second hand but interested in other second hand options but a bit newer maybe around £450 ish.
Reasonably happy with the sound this set up gave but open to suggestions for a better cd player

Hi, you may opt for some Cyrus CD player like Cyrus CDi or Rega Apolo, both very good. With Cyrus you may use one remote control. BR

Welcome to the forum.

There is a vast range of CD players available within your budget, both used and new.

You could do a lot worse than a newer Arcam, as they’re usually made popular and reliable players. There are several of the discontinued but very nice FMJ series in budget, so just search on eBay for an idea of the choice. These include the later SACD/streamer models like the CDS50, newer than the FMJ.

For a bargain, find a local item that the seller won’t ship, as that enables you to see it, and avoid postage risks.

Arcam is a good choice but the OP really needs to see it as second hand CD players can be prone to failures be it belts or lasers.
