Outboard Gear saving my rack/dual CD player

[Dreadpoet]

Looking for a dual cd player that doesn't take up so dang many slots in my gator case. Any suggestions on a more compact solution than typical dj dual cd player.

Well, it certainly ain't cheap, but this would definitely be the ultimate in cutting rackspace: MYM-DCD Dual CD


Available in the US through B&H, and maybe other folks, but B&H is the one that I found: Australian Monitor | MYMDCD Dual-Bay CD/MP3 Player | MYMDCD

How many slots do you have, and how much money do you want to spend? Does it need to record or strictly playback? I have the HHB CDR882, but only because it is a dual burner (that records continuously on up to 99 discs without a dropout, pretty sweet). But even at dealer cost (which I am) it might be more than you want to spend.

I'm really wanting to somewhere in the 300-500 dollar mark. I don't need to record...I'm just wanting basic theatre playback options. I currently have a stanton c500...it takes up 4 slots in my rack. I'd like to have some of those back

Tascam CD01U-Pro. Only a single disc, but only one space. Even if you bought a pair to get two drives you would still only use 2 spaces. The pro even comes with balanced outputs on XLR jacks, and I'm yet to have any of my students hand me a disc with an audio format that it can't read. Pricey though, maybe out of your budget.

Yeah, I have a c.500 also ... looking to drop to a c.403 for $200 to save on rack space AND get XLR outs for better sound quality.

The Tascam CD01U-pro is also on my watch list, but that's a much higher end and more expensive unit. If you can afford it though, probably the way to go.
