can anyone help me........


I have a old rotel rcd 975, love its sound but its on its last legs.  laser is going out and parts are getting harder to find.  the 975 had a very unique sound, with that phillips chip.  does anyone who is familiar with this unit know what compares to it today.  I currently have the oppo udp 203, and a nad 565bee which sounds good, but the rotel sounds better.  if anyone has any answers let me know.  please no bizarre and expensive brands that I cant afford or brands just to impress me please.  let me know what you come up with please, thanks.

hifiman,  its just a beautiful, full, dynamic  smooth sound.

djones51, talked with rotel engineer, said they last good model were the 10 series. said if I could get my hands on one of them, but they have been around a while as well, would be having the same problem soon.  


kotta637, not much on transport matching and such, the only transport I got off on was the wadia back in the day.  never really went into the tech side of digital

I do know that of the cd players I liked back when, calf audio labs, meridian, rotel, phillips, ,melos gold that I could remember, the rotel sounded the best, and all used that same phillips chip.
