Looking for a used carosel type SACD player. Doesn't have to be top of the line (don't even have any SACDs yet)

    Keep an eye out on the Sonystyle website for a refurbished Sony 595. They don't show up very often but they are around $60.00 when they do. I have one in my bedroom system and it sounds great. I've seen them on e-bay but usually around $100.00 which, in my opinion, is still a great deal.
    If you can't hear a difference, don't waste your money.

    Honestly, you're better off going with a single disc player.

    I have an absolutely beautiful Sony SCD-C555ES that I purchased directly from Crutchfiled in 2003.
    Not certain if you have ever heard the fabulous sound that one of these units produces, but it is truly amazing.
    If you have not heard it for yourself, please review the article that Stereophile put together on this at: http://www.stereophile.com/hirezplayers/469. This unit is built like a tank. I also opted for the changer as I like to kick back and chill out to 5 SACD's loaded with a beverage :)

    In any case, I have come to the point in audiophile life that I must start to part ways with the numerous items I have accumulated over the years. I have all the items that came with the unit like the remote and user manual. I no longer have the original packaging sorry. The condition is flawless or indistinguishable from new. If you are interested I could e-mail you some photo's if you like. I even have some SACD's I could send your way as well. I would like to get $400.00 for the unit and shipping would be based on your location & preferences. Please let me know your thoughts, before I post it in the general items for sale.
