Any Sony CDP collectors here? Which would you say it worth while?
Sony's first, not too bad sounding supposedly (check it on TVK, I think Axel has some thoughts on it), but you can get much better than that though. More of a collector's item than anything else
My reply was not in answer to your message, I was talking about the CDP-101.
The laser for the CDP-101 is NLA. This player had a lot of issues; power opamps that go bad and are unavailable, RF PLL adjsutment was incorrect in the service manual, and if you don't have the special bulletin Sony put out, you will never get it right, and the player won't play CDs. It doesn't sound that hot, either, the high end is a bit mushy.
Your thoughts on the CDP-101?

It still looks nice sitting on a shelf, even if it doesn't play, it's something of a collector's item...
