You'll get no sense out of the audiophools regarding a $100 player.


They'll tell you to buy a used Magnavox/Philips CDB650. It's good advice.


Yes, but will anyone fix the laser when it dies? Mine has.


It uses the same model laser that most of the third generation players
from Philips used. Parts Express and MCM Electronics may even still
stock them.

Replacing the head is much easier than it was with the first and second
generation players.
