    I hate CD Players, but.....

    Agreed. In general, I despise CD players. But this machine sounds spectacular.

    I hate CD Players, but.....

    I do love this new-to-me Pioneer Elite PD-65, which I bought today at the local Savers for $6. Yes, it works, Not only does it work, but it sounds spectacular. And the rosewood panels add a touch of class. It is a tank. Very warm sound, with none of the harshness associated with many CD players.

    I will never part with these. I did confirm, the foam on the drivers and the passive radiators is new. Saved me some money, and a lot of headache- I understand they are not the easiest to do. Spent less on the speakers than the materials would have cost.

    Several. That's the only way to find items like this.

    They sound amazing. And it was confirmed for me elsewhere that the previous owner did a great job refoaming them, and they are not the easiest to redo. I really did score, as the speakers cost less than it would for the materials to refoam the drivers and the passive radiators.

    No sonic evidence at all of rubbing. I cannot believe how good they sound.

    In another part of this forum, people were insisting on seeing pictures. So, here they are. I picked up a pair of in the box Infinity RS-425's. At Savers, for $25. They sound spectacular. Amazingly, no foam rot. Either the previous owner refoamed them, or they are new old stock that I scored...

    There was a guy camping out in front of them, I didnt get the chance to inspect them. Not saying Boston's were bad, I own a pair of Lynnfield's. The cabinets on these things were absolutely decimated.

    A Colossal Thrift Store Score- Infinity RS-425's In The Box

    Went to the Savers in the city I used to work, looking for vinyl. Found a couple of albums. Went to the back of the store to look for audio gear and speakers. Other than a ratty looking pair of Boston Acoustic floor speakers. On the way to the registers. to pay for the albums, I spot a box near...

    I don't think of it as entry level, at all. That was the SL-20. Which was completely manual, no auto return, and no frequency generator.

    When I am right, I am right. Internet keyboard wars are tiresome.
