I'm not getting a Phillips 880 or 960 or a marantz 94, so those out.

But I can get one of these TDA1541(A) player-transports:

1 Phillips CD304 mkII (CDM 1)
2 Arcam Alpha 5 (CDM 9/44)
3 Sony 337ESD (KSS-190A)
4 Magnavox CDB650 (CDM 2)

any advice here, opinions? I will have to change voltage on all of them except the mag, so that's a factor ig, a small one.

want a player to tube clock mod, and then do nothing w. no more mods--no opamp rolling, no replacing caps, nothing, want one that just sounds good on its own two feet.

@k4rstar is a vintage CD guru as you probably already know from the thread. If he doesn’t respond here, try a DM.

A cdt is a lot like Pandoras box, what will happen after you open it???
Could you really close it again?

I'm in a similar situation, but Cassette. :)

Famous last words, my friend. :->

Why kill your self over audio

"last bit of nervosa"

1. Get an old PC with an optical disk drive and a sound card.

2. Use it.

3. Decide it sounds great

/nervosa
lol.

2009 Mac Mini is definitely the best CDP I've heard anyways. No joke. That 3.5mm jack to RCA replaced my Yggdrasil.

@k4star bc I want to die

getting the Arcam bc cheapest & easiest to swap voltages & also rec'd by a bunch of ppl lol

dat 304mkII would be p sweet tho... lmao
