Home Audio CD Players Buying Guide

By Angus Robertson

This is how I put collectively put my Home Theater and Audio Sound System and you might want make use of this as a general guide in terms of what I learned through trial and error.

Buying Used or Refurbished Items
I have a few rules I recommend you abide whenever you try to find cd players:

1.Make sure it comes with the original manual and handheld remote control, that will make reselling it, should you chose to do so, easier.

2. Make certain it really is described as in excellent or better condition from the seller in the US (or the country you reside in).
3. Pass on any item which the vendor has described previous problems with.

4.Be careful not to buy anything that says you can't return it or you may get stuck with it.

5. Only buy from someone with loads of feedback whose positive percentage is 90% or better. More often than not I won't buy from anyone with feedback of 10 or less, if you're putting up $150 or more, I'd increase that to 20 feed backs. Even if you do pass up some legitimate people in the process with that rule, the probabilities are good the item will show up again inside the next a couple of months or so from the seller with feedback of 20 or better. What I'm saying is, don't rush things when you do not have to. It's a good idea pay by paypal only. By doing this if there is a problem, paypal can help resolve it and/or get your hard earned dollars back.

Don't buy these refurbished items:
Be careful buy a used or refurbished home audio cd players under any circumstances. You may be asking for trouble if you do. Do not pay money for a second hand or refurbished DVD player, Universal player or DVD recorder under Any circumstances. They are made with a limited life in mind.

If you've heard or seen any system personally that you liked, I would go by that first to decide what to purchase. What I wouldn't do is visit a store & make your decision based on what you hear or see there. In many cases for example, the HDTV's are not actually showing HD shows in the shop because they're not receiving HD signals or the sound system is giving lousy sound due to bad acoustics, bad ambiance and improperly set controls which the salesperson is pretending to not notice. In case you ignore everything, let the buyer beware, at least bring a CD and/or DVD of your choice to sample their system, not the stores generic ones.

I would go to Forum sites and see which components or system, are constantly being praised and then read Online Reviews and information from the Manufacturer and base your decision on that. Likewise use the forums to ask about a specific product.
