I'm working with a radio station to find some replacement equipment. Which CD player brand do you think would be better: Denon, Tascam, or 'other'?

We started out with Denon deck that has pitch control and A-B loop, but apparently it is designed for stage and not for broadcast. We replaced it with a TASCAM CD-X1500 and I like the phase and pitch controls on it, but it ate a CD and it has reliability issues. So, we're back to the old Denon one which is worse, in my opinion.

We use http://www.daleproaudio.com/ for most audio equipment, but don't have to...

Please, recommend good CD player brands and models for a radio station. Thanks.

I've got an old Hi-end Sony, unfortunately at work right now so I can't give model number, it plays everything I've thrown at it, no pitch, but fully programmeable. I've also got a Revox in Canada, perhaps the most well built piece of equipment I've ever seen. Some of the DJ CD turntables look interesting, a couple of Pioneers on the island, seem to be holding together quite well, considering the humidity and salt air.

Try ebay, or bhphotoworld, they have a lot on site and in catalogs.

Have you used any of your MD equipement patched into the system, may work quite well.

Thanks for the replies everybody...

the wizard of oz- I like that Tascam CD-01U Pro model you posted. Probably the best thing about it...no CD trays! I'll mention this one to the staff.

bobt- I went to a club about a week ago and saw a great Pioneer CD player I want for myself now...the Pioneer CDJ-800. Maybe I'll spend some of my tax return money on one of those for the good of my own DJing. Then I should get some turntables too! :D

Guitarfxr- That CD player is CRAZY! Sometimes I wish I was still in school around people who take on projects like that...quite the piece of work.
