RISE Three-part CD Player Keeps Components Safe From...Each Other?

Audiophiles will stop at nothing to reach aural nirvana, which is the only justification for RISE's existence. Hand crafted in Italy, RISE is a CD player in which the various components (power source, control panel, and a Philips CD reader) are stashed in separate aluminum boxes to eliminate all mechanical and electromagnetic interference. Pricing is done on a request-only basis, but like most Italian luxury products, you can rest assured that if you have to ask, you probably can't afford it.

The $23,000 CD Player

A common thesis states that CDs just don t sound as rich as old-fashioned vinyl does. There s something about an analog recording etched into the vinyl that cannot be replicated by a series of 0s and 1s. If you have an extra $23,000, however, a solution to the problem can be yours. The Kalista CD Transport employs French-designed aesthetics into a player that promises to deliver vinyl-quality sound from a CD. Sure, you could spend next to nothing on your next CD player, but then again, it still won t sound as good as vinyl. It also wouldn t need to be covered by Lloyd s of London. More »

Panasonic Still Down With 1994, CD Players


Panasonic realizes that the 1990s were the pinnacle of all things fun. So it should come as no suprise that they still embrace the media format of the time, the Compact Disc. These portable CD players are, um, portable, and features the catchy names SL-CT830 and CT730. They play CDs and MP3-encoded CDs, and the battery life is spectacular as always—two AA batteries nets you 73 CD hours or 130 MP3 hours. Jeez. If only the iPod got battery life as gnarly as that. Glad to see somebody still cares about something that's not flash media or hard drive related. More »

Bearmax MVX6950T Multi-Player

My family used to go on these time-share seminar things so we could get free "portable TVs" or free "portable movie viewers" which were these huge boxes with a cheapo black and white CRT or screen that could get like UHF or play back Super 8 film. We'd have to sit through 8 hours of boring presentations and my parents would tell us to start acting up so we could leave. Ahh, shilling for primitive electronics. More »
