CD Changer, Carousel, oy HELP.


Does anyone know of a list or resource for a large selection of cd players and specs?
I'm getting into "HI-FI" and want a cd player. Right now I have a 13 yr.old magnavox 5 disc carousel w/ 4x upsampling & 16 bit DA/converter? So i'm assuming any Hi-Fi choice would be an improvement. The thing I love about this carousel is that i can change discs while one is playing. So i'm looking for a "carousel" or changer,modern model,plays all burned discs, good with tube amps,new or used for around $1000, preferably black. Can anyone help me out with Brands and Models? I'm using a (tube)Rogue Audio Tempest Int. amp w/ 60 wpc pentode or 40 wpc triode. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.

Take a look at the Sony SCD-C222ES or the SCD-C555ES which are 5 disc changers. I have a C222ES which is wonderful with SACD and fair with redbook. I've heard that the C555ES is better with redbook and is in your price range. It has a digital coax and TOSLink output, too. So you can add on a DAC if you want even better redbook performance somewhere down the line.
Thanks for the responses. After looking on audiogon it's a little overwhelming seeing about a "million" different brands of cd players out there. Tfkaudio, your response kinda surprised me by naming a SONY product. I wouldn't think "audiophiles" would even consider Sony as Hi-Fi? At least I know that Sony is sold everywhere and I'll look into their cd players. Thanks.
I own the Rotel RCC-1055 5 disc changer Upstate is referring to. It's a great changer with large power supply, detachable p/c, great looks, nice remote, and can be had in black. It sounds great/performs flawlessly.

If you can come up with $1500, you can pick up the Mcintosh changer (not carousel) used, which gets rave reviews from folks here on the Gon.
I think we audiophiles love the mom & pop brands and want to sneer at the giants, but do this... look at specifically the SACD players on sale at Audiogon for a month or so and you'll notice that the Sony's are the quickest to be marked as SOLD.

Happy hunting.
