CD Player w/large platter

bubblersound 3:34 PM - 18 December, 2006
I use SSL with turntables (1200's) but would like to sell them to switch over to basic scratch/backspin CD players. I don't scratch up a storm or use abs mode anymore and I don't care for the fx, sampling etc found in new CD players. I like the idea of more compact, less weight, and maintainance free CD players. The problem is finding a CD player with a large platter. I've used a Technics SL-DZ1200 w/10" platter and it's perfect. I've scratched with a Denon S5000 but I wouldn't want anything smaller. Looking at less than $1000 for a pair. What are you guys using and has anyone switched from 1200's to CD players?

Little bit more expensive than your limit tho...

But it definately meets your platter size requirement... and with real vinyl on the platter too :)

I'm using SLDZ's... and love them. They're a match made in heaven with time coded systems (SSL/FS/Torq).

And if price is an issue, try looking for a pair used. You can find a pair used pretty often for $1K or so.

Yeah, unless you go used, you won't find anything with a platter for less than $1k a pair.

It's hard enough buying a pair of turntables for under one grand

shoot - they're all over the place here, used for less than $700 for a pair.

I'll hang those with pride on my fridge, my oven, my computer at work, the microwave oven and glue another on my mirror in the bathroom. Thanks.
