Technics SL-PD9 Rotary CD Changer/Player (Discontinued by Manufacturer)

The CD player was top notch condition .. works and sounds great ,, shipped without remote .. but was sent when notified.. thanks

It seems to be working OK. Previously, I purchased one locally and one from Amazon. Both did not work (Different model #'s). This one works well with my stereo system for now, until I update to a more modern and smaller system.

Nice system and quick delivery.

Perfect! Plugged in in and was playing music in 15 minutes. Well packaged. Replaced non-functioning CD player cheaper than repair.

almost brand new, excellent purchase

I just bought one of these on Ebay. I had been having bad luck trying other CD changers- every other CD changer I tried so far had been skipping or too noisy on some CD's. So far, this Technics player is perfect. The tray opens and changes discs quickly (compared to other players, anyway). The sound is solid- nothing outside of the ordinary, but high quality enough that casual listening is enjoyable. The interface is unique and fun! My only complaint is that there is no track calendar on the display- everything else is very good.

Purchased used but looked like new. Very nice-sounding unit, as the specs would indicate. I bought it because I still have hundreds of CDs; now and then I'll load of the SL-PD9 and let it rip. Using it as a kind of transport with a good external DAC elevates the sound noticeably—although as I said, pretty good to begin with for an inexpensive changer, not audiophile quality, but good. Still, I prefer to use the optical out to an external DAC. The feature that I required, that you don't see on every CDC, is the ability to play each CD in random track order; that is, the player plays the CDs one at a time in random order. It doesn't have to switch between CDs in Random mode, although it can. Nice. The unit isn't excessively noisy and by CDC standards, the display is not garish. The remote is compact yet full-featured. It can power on/off the changer and it fits nicely in my hand. The SL-PD9 can be found at very reasonable prices in online auctions.

I have been on the lookout for a nice CD changer for the past 3 months. I looked at the Yamaha series, Sony & the Harmon Kardon. All of them were okay, but I was still not satisfied.Then I came across the Technics CD Changers (Basically a Panasonic company). I immediately read some reviews on the net and what caught my attention was that most reviewers liked its previous version, the PD8 a lot. I too went for the PD8, used it for a few days and was very impressed. Then I thought, maybe it is best to settle for the higher version, the PD9.I got the changer home and the first CD I played was one that I had burned (For the uninitiated, a CD-R). Played flawlessly and I immediately noticed a difference in the sound as compared to my sony. Then I threw scratched CD's at it and it played them very well.(The Sony would not even touch these scratched CD's. But both the PD8 and Pd9 were totally comfortable playing the scrached CD's). The front panel LCD was elegant too. The one feature I miss thougth is the inability to show CD-Tect in CD's with encoded text information.Anyways, its been great going. I really could not hear much of a difference between the Optical and Analog out, but the fact is that you have optical out in case you want to record digitally.And its fast when it evaluates the empty slots and looks for CD's. If you ever used a Harmon Kardon, you would know what Im talking about !All in all, You get great sound that is plesant to the ears and to the wallet !
