cd players

Frankly, i haven't been able to tell much difference in the sound quality of CD players - for me it's pretty much a mechanical/reliablity issue- I'm sure there are better sounding ones out there, but the differences have to be subtle I would think - I generate a lot of CD-R's off my computer's CD recorder, so I have to have a player that will handle these, and some of the higher end players don't like 'em. I've found that Sony CD players will play just about anything and are pretty reliable, especially the carousel type. Single CD players with slide-out trays (older yamaha models for example) tend to need belt replacement so be careful if you buy one of them used - and stay away from the cartridge-type cd players like pioneer or kenwood - very bad design (my 2cents worth).
