It Fits The BillOct 24, 2008
Budget-conscious times these may be, but the PCD3000A proved a viable substitute with suitably small footprint for an increasingly distracted CD drive on my office desktop computer. (It will likely also replace my home system player when that "flies south.") Well-constructed, easy to set up, and to me at least its own headphone amp sets it apart from the usual digital alternatives.
The toggle-switch control is nifty but the remote control is handier than expected, particularly for volume control and muting. The display shows only the track and elapsed time during play. Have a good pair of "cans" and be sure of the surrounding environment and power supply. A custom-fitting dust cover is a good idea for the office. The only upgrade I use so far is a PS Audio Prelude "SC" Power Cord. In time perhaps I'll explore another amp but right now I'll work with this one...
The sound? If you prefer a Discman or MP3s in a cigarette pack you get what you pay for. This player picks up what it needs to with superior channel definition and keeps the overall sound balanced and gentle, which is what I want for my generally sub-par hearing. The disc begins and ends with an odd "pop." Test runs through Bose QC2s with Panufnik's Sinfonia sacra and the Horenstein/LSO performance of Mahler's Third bode well, while Jethro Tull and Kraftwerk wait in the wings. BUT BE FOREWARNED: Before you insert the first disc and switch on the "cans" lower the volume setting from "99" to, say, "22" and work from there.
