Hi mate
I've got a gold-finished CD7300 which has been unused for a while. Was thinking about selling it as I've started going into that FLAC / aptx business. Thought would turn it on to make sure it works.
Well, no clicing noise of the CD spinning that's for sure. And even without any warming up, the sound is so much more superior (did a back-toback comparison with Gato Barbieri's Into the Sunset; ripped from same CD into FLAC). So ok, not selling it any more (gonna be another white elephant....)
I think its probably the same as CD6004 or similiar series. Competent mid-range CD player during its time. The rare thing about it is, its the only CD player in that price range that can play mp3s on CD; albeit at only 128kps. After it was withdrawn, I cannot find any player that can do that except at a higher price range.
