I'm looking to put a new CD player in my system. Not looking to spend a ton but I'm reasonable. Here are the deetz: jolida 302 AR 2ax and I mostly listen to rock(mostly live), jazz, hip hop.

I know some you out there have favorite decks

nobody has any recommendations or is this the wrong forum?
 
Oppo has a great name as a multiformat player, capable of great audio. I have never heard one, but have read enough that when I get the dollars for a new player, I will look very carefully at the Oppo before buying.
 
If you don´t mind a used CDP. look for a Belgium made Philips or Magnavox from the second half of the 80 ´s, a Denon DCD-XXXX, with XXXX larger than 1000, or a Cambridge Audio CD 4 SE. Those are in my experience some of the best CDPs you can get under 150 $.
 
Hello,

I can highly recommend the Creek Evolution CD player.

I have had one singing very nicely in one of my my systems for the past year and for the price, they are hard to beat.

If you want to go 'vintage', some of the higher end Denon players, such as the CDC 3000 even better the CDC 3500 are superb units and can be had quite cheaply if you chase hard enough. I purchased a CDC 3500 last year for $350.00 and am extremely happy with it.

This was my first player in 87. It's so true they are just awesome.
Guiller knows what he is talking about!
 
Not bad. I love those wood panels on the Sony. However, I am not a huge fan of those 5-disc carousel players. In the same price range, this would be my personal preference. The Denon DVD 2800II had an MSRP of $850 in 2002, and according the Audiogon the average used price is $250. I am using a Denon DVD-3000 myself, which is even older (1998), but I love it. I only own a handful of DVDs, but it's a great CD player.
 
I love my older cartridge Pioneer CD player. sounds awesome. my Friend has an early version of the PS1(PlayStation) it has great sound quality, and he bought it for only $50. BTW leave the PS1 on, it seems to sound better that way.
