Pioneer PDS505 Precision CDP FS

yep, after 3 or so years of it being in my system, its come to move on (its taken a highly modded, high end player to beat it!!).
Sounds very good as a standard player, having being modded by Tom Evans as all the Precision range is.
Takes on a completely different stance if you have a separate dac through the coaxial digital out-lots of high end companies use the Stable Platter mechanism, and its hard not to see why- very good disc stability and its been extremely reliable.
Condition is very good- the odd mark or two, and the headphone output could possibly do with cleaning as it crackles from time to time (probably down to lack of use as i used the Stax's and the X-Cans)

Cost in 2001 was £460- looking for £200ono including remote control
