So far, I have found the Sonys in general to be the best players in terms of tracking ( ability to play scratched or damaged discs without audible errors )....
I have bidded some vintage HiFi equipment made in the 1980's. The integrated amplifiers and speakers are generally good. But many CD players have a poor CD...
I cant comment on degradation, but in my experience of the major brands, the better SONYs generally are the best for tracking of defect discs. They play the...
I'm currently using a Sony CDP-CE525(5 disc), which has given me many years of faithful service. I'm looking to upgrade since this unit is finally doing those...
Most of the higher end players are single disc, not multidisc. Why not another Sony multidisc? The Sony ES series are pretty good, I have a Sony CDP-C85ES I...
Thanks for the input J.C. I do currently have a Pioneer PDR-609 which does a much better job on playback than the Sony multi-disc. I've also come into some...
Sorry, cant think of any good CD/SACD changers off hand. I had a cheap sony 5 disc CD/SACD player (it was under $100) but it didnt sound much better on SACD...

Hi, since my last post on this topic, I have swiched my regularly used player over from the Sony CDP-X303ES to my Onkyo DX-6800 which is one of my favorites...
According to the data table I have, the SL-PG200/200A is 1988 vintage. Curious, does it have or say "4 DACS" on the front panel like the ones I mentioned? -- ...
I think that the Philips transport units are also good trackers. I have not discs with so many cratches, that it would cause problems. But I have one CD with...
What I did is make a special TEST DISC of my own that I use to test the tracking ability of every CD player I aquire. It consists of a CD-R made up of 99...
P.S.I forgot to mention, I have owned quite a few CD players over the years but never really was aware of what type transports were in them and only recently...
This is a good list of DACs and transports used in CD players: http://www.marantzphilips.nl/the_complete_d_a_dac_converter_list/ Somewhere on the net I have...
There is 4DAC on the front panel MASH-1-Bit DACs are used. But my SL-PG200A was a cheap bottom of the line plaer. I have here one Technics HiFi 1992 Catalogue...
Hi, Actually, I didnt think the MASH players came out that early (1988 ) but looking again, I noticed the data table I have (from web ) lists only the SL-PG200...

I purchased this player in Germany in second half of 1992 or in the beginning of 1992. There is no year stated in the user manual. I have the technical data in...
There may be some confusion with regards to Country of destination, or there may be just different models but it sounds to me that the SL-PG200A is similar to...
