[Rob.]

Hi guys, can you list some vintage small home cd players ?
Something like a Philips cd 100 ?

thanks

The Yamaha CD-X1 was probably the smallest "vintage" CD player. I had one in 1982. Parts for any of those are going to be almost unobtanium.

Sony D700 ?

How about vintage portable cd players ? Most of them can be hooked up using a Mini to RCA composite cable.

Also has a set of LINE-OUT RCA jack in the back you can use it with any Stereo system you have

Just found this TOSHIBA XR-9458 + AC ADAPTER/REMOTE !

The Sony D-25 portable is a fine CDP.

Philips CD 101/Magnavox FD 1010 SL.

The old Technics players are small. Sorry, I can't remember the model number and mine is at work.

Hyper cute: the top loading Sony CDF-7F (I've got 2 of them) which were sold seperately, or as an optional component for one of the FH boombox series (FH-7 I think). Very solid build, brushed metal front (no fake plastic).

And the Sony CDP-17F, also still wanted when one pops up for sale.

Nice. Looks small.

And the second Sony CD-player, a bit easier to find... The CDP-102 (does not share the same optical pick-up, nor DAC, with the CDP-101)

Emerson had the CD-150A which was made for them by Yamaha. Probably a CD-X1 in drag. It was a good sounding player.

 

[Rob.]

Any others ?

Any others ?

Another very nice vintage (must have) one: the Philips CD-104. Just looooove those green digits designs (like the CD-150)

with that magnificant massive CDM1 mechanism

Or some other units here.

Money to burn? A Denon DCD S1 :yes:, a Naim CDS1 :yes:

Hi guys, will 220v cd player work in U.S./Canada ?

Not necessarily small. But the Denon DCD-600 and DCD-800.

Playstation 1 with the audio out. There was a lot of hype about these a while back, most of it bull. I picked one up for $5 at a thrift just to see for myself. It's actually a decent sounding player, not worth all the hype, but better than some out there.

Realistic CD-3000.

1987 i think, small enough to qualify for this thread i think,even as here sat in its A/C power adapter cradle.

Based on a Toshiba player, plays anything and has not skipped yet !!

 

[Rob.]

Are DVD players for the most part, better sounding than normal CD players ?

In my opinion, no.

Rob,

If it is about the CDP-7F, it has a 110/220V selector switch at the back (very small, difficult to spot in pictures). They were all shipped with US type power plug.

Or in general, you can easily run a 220V CD player from a rather cheap adapter transformer, no problem at all. See ebay, around $10~15.
