I was browsing the thrifts the other day and I found a Philips CD80. From 89/90. 4x oversampling. Things weighs 20lbs. Even included a set of Monster Cable interconnects.
Here's the question for the audience. I've been throwing my audiobucks at the final stages of the chain (i.e. speakers and amps) while basically ignoring the front end (tuner/tape/CD). I didn't really think that I'd significantly improve the sound by upgrading my cd player from my current early model Sony DVD player.
I won't have time to play with the new player until next week but I'd like to hear what sort of improvements I might hear. In Cd player reviews I hear lots of grainyness/harshness quantification but that's about it.
