Great choice.  You won't be disappointed.

And you can get a workout just lifting the remote also  :o

New, $900.00.
Used, +/- $500.00
New modded, depends on the mod. $1300 to $1900.00.
Used modded, too many variables.

The Jolida quit working on him already. That's 2 NAD cd players and now a Jolida that have died prematurely on him.  >:(

No power conditioner, but it's new construction with a dedicated 20A going to the stereo.

Both NAds slowly went. Basically started with tracking problems and ended with not being able to play cds. My dad told me the Jolida wasn't working right, so when I was in Erie 2 weekends ago I had it playing. It was playing fine, but there was noise (like a hum) coming from the player. Then it just shut off and wouldn't come back on. It's under warrantee, so as long as he makes contact it should be taken care of... but knowing my dad, he'll wait a year and then he'll be screwed...

Good CD players are -- good.

Things are changing.
To save words, I tried to explain it here - http://yardcrap.typepad.com/yardcrap/2010/08/computer-audio-for-everyone.html

The best bet these days is to put your money into a better DAC.

Solid mechanical CD players can be found on ebay - cheap.  You may already have one.  Look for one with a digital output.

Put your money into a better DAC.  Those old high dollar CD players can't match up to even mid level DACs out there today.

Buy a solid Cd player, and put your money into a better DAC.

For the price of many CD players, you can buy a better DAC and use the left over to build a computer player.
