MAGNAVOX CDB 582 CD PLAYER 16 bit D/A converter with 4 times oversampling Made in Belgium June 1989 by Philips. From a friends "pre-estate" sale (he's still going at 83, but downsizing).This has the sought after TDA1541A chip. Asking $99 obo plus $20 shipping Condition: tested, working fine as far as I can tell. It is of course 22 years old, so take that into consideration. Cosmetics: it's black. Which for me, is, blah, but some post here and there have some people say they like it. It is understated as opposed to ostentatious. Minor wear and some dust that didn't clean off on the first go around, but nothing major. This has digital inputs, RCA. I have non-original remote that I have yet to test. Sound: out of the, well, no box, but after dusting off it immediately is a smooth, slightly tube-like sound. Nice tone, with a fullness closer to a Rega Planet 2000 I had than to a Rotel or a Sony Discman. I can see why it was liked. I do have the two pins for locking the drive during shipping. Manual included. (Original price above is a guess). I can get better pics.
I rated it 6 good, if newer I would call it 7 or 8.
