Up for sale is a beautiful, audiophile-grade Technics SL-P500 Programmable Compact Disc Player from the golden era of Japanese hifi manufacturing. Released in 1986, this classic deck is highly sought after for its incredibly warm, musical sound signature, powered by the legendary dual Burr-Brown PCM53P digital-to-analog converters (DAC).

Finding these classic players with their original factory remote control still intact is becoming increasingly rare.
