New CD Player

[davejberry]

I'll ask here because I know there are a few wrinklies my age that may remember it. My trusty Marantz CD63B (the top loader from 1984 ish) has finally died RIP

Any suggestions for a modern replacement in terms of sound that is as cheap as chips (I'm jobless at present) that is available in Europe (Spain)

using your bd player would be the cheapest solution

£120-£130 will get you a good used marantz CD63 MKII K1 signature cdp off ebay

or look for one of the older Rotel CD players which can be sometimes bought for less than £50

Let's face it, your only solution might be a used marantz or whatever on Ebay. But better advise would be to order a tubed chinese MHZS CD33 player or such. I read about them on forums and they are price/performance unbeatable. I have bought an MHZS to after i compared it to my reference player. There is even a 1200£ cd player in existence that is actually a MHZS CD33 in disguise, how dare they. You can buy one on Ebay or with Cattylink, ... I am from Belgium.
