Decent CD player £150ish
My lovely Philips CD650 has finally thrown in its hand in after 20 years. Have £150ish to spend, what should I be looking at? Richer Sound CA fodder? Or is there better?
Thanks in advance.
PS slight advantage if I can get it in black!

You might be able to get a used Cambridge Azur 640C, NAD C541i, Rotel RCD-02 or Arcam CD62 for that money. All good spinners.
Alternatively, the Sony DVP-NS900V or Philips DVD-963SA dvd players do a great job with cd and are both available at or around £150 used.

maybe Marantz CD5400 or CD5001 are not such a bad idea 
i think you should get any of these brand new for that kind of money if you look around. |

Thanks for all the suggestions guys. The player seems to have got its 2nd wind and is reading discs again. It might be just dirt on the laser, I'll get a cleaning disc.
Out of interest, do people use these cleaning discs on a regular basis?

Certainly do, around every 50hrs of use / once per month.
DVD player every 3rd month, PS2 every fortnight, PC not so much and car when I can remember.

I'm guessing there's very little "fluff" in your belly-button!!
