i have finally got them both, and i plan noįurther upgrades. The PD-91 and PD-M90X are my dream CDPs, that i have lusted afterįor most of the 2000s. PD-M90X MACGYVER/PIONEERPD-M90XMacGyver1.jpgĪnd finally, just recently, i replaced the DCD-1500 Perhaps a year later, i replaced the PD-M50 with a 1987/1988 Then, not long after that, was my first ever high-end CDP In his system ever since, including the last time i was over there,Īnyhow, my first CD player was a 1998 TECHNICS SL-MC3 60-disc įollowed some time later by a 1989 MAGNAVOX CDB-486 six-disc Ī couple years later, i replaced that with a 1987 PIONEER PD-M50 six-disc Numerous times since 2003, and i remember that CDP It must be pretty good, as i've stopped by his shop That looks a lot like the one that the owner of Naturally, this feature is useless in machines that don't display the index points. The most imaginative use of the index feature that I have seen was in some early Newport Classics discs, which presented the Beethoven Concerti and a few sonatas with one track per movement and an index ponit at each major division within the score (in other words, track one was the first mvt., with an index point for the introduction, the beginning of the development, the beginning of the recapitulation, etc.). As I'm remembering things, my player's big brother, the CDB-650, served as the basis for the very pricey Meridian players of its day. Oh, to stay vaguely on topic, my first machine, a Magnavox CDB-560, is still chugging along, although a fair number of the display elements quit working years ago (a common problem with that line, apparently).

Net result: instead of an opera recording with, say, 3 tracks, each with 15 indices, you get an opera recording with 45 tracks, which makes it a real pain in the neck to program for less than full playback. even less incentive to include the feature once prices started coming down. Without the hardware support, of course, the recording companies didn't put indices into the discs, which then gave the hardware mfrs. (I actually have a few CDs set up in this way.) Unfortunately, this feature was really needful mainly for classical listeners, and each feature in the very early machines sent an already elevated price closer to astronomical territory, so indexing got left out of most of them. Thus, for instance, an opera might have one track for each act and a dozen or so index points within each track for the individual arias, or a symphony might be in one track with index points for each movement. The idea, as suggested above, was that a long work would have index point for interior access points. Index points were the vital bit of the CD concept that never got implemented. The only CDs I own that include index marks is a Telarc CD (Stravinsky's Firebird Suite) with a listing of them on the back label, and another CD I cannot remember right now with one 10+ minute long track, but no mention of them on the label - I just happened to be looking at the player's display and saw the number '2' in the index field.

My Technics SL-PG4 CD player, bought new in 2003, includes this feature but only 'half' of it: it shows the index mark(s) - if provided - of whatever track you're playing but you cannot manually choose it via the player's number keypad like older players.

The index feature was mostly advertised for use with long tracks, like those on classical albums for example, so you can zip right to whatever (indexed) part you wanted without having to use the fast-forward or reverse scanning buttons. Many still operate to this day, according to numerous owners over at. Magnavox players are supposed to sound quite good and also be able to track scratched discs better than average.
