I'd have a better system if I spent less on music!

If CattyLink are offering the same basic service on this deal as they did to me, then they will burn in the machines for 120 hr, despatch them, and you're on your own from that point.I decided that it was a risk worth taking, you may decide differently.
I based my decision on the likelyhood of something going wrong with a CD player - having owned many (a dozen at least) since 1982, I have not, so far, had one go wrong on me - I hope I am not tempting providence!
Whenever I hear someone say that they have never had a problem with any CD player I think of the Cary 303/200. Cary is no slouch as a high quality brand, but this forum was littered with posts from people who had plenty of trouble with this high end player in its early years. Cary fixed them all under warranty (sometimes several times!). Part of the price of more expensive players is the service. This protects you against flawed design (components burn out before their time), bad chip batches, sleepy-headed workers, heavy handed shippers, etc. .

Have you never taken a calculated risk?
... buying a new product with no track record but a warranty to back it up. Buying a product with no track record and no warranty, is a different kind of risk all together IMHO.

My question to the dealer: Is there any warranty on the player if something goes wrong later?Response:
*****IN THIS BATCH TO YOUR GROUP BUY ESOUND WILL CONDUCT A THOROUGH QA TEST BEFORE DELIVERY TO OUR WAREHOUSE. OUR TECHNICAL SUPPORT UNIT WILL THEN CONDUCT OUR OWN 120HOUR QA TESTS. BASED ON THAT WE THINK THE CHANCE OF PROBLEMS ON ARRIVAL WILL BE EXTREMELY SMALL.
*****REGARDING CD-E5 THE CHANCE OF ELECTRIC BOARD, DAC BOARD OR MAIN BOARD PROBLEM IS UNLIKELY TO HAPPEN BASED ON THE QA TESTS RECORDS OF THE PAST YEAR. ESOUND HAS, HOWEVER, OFFERED 1 YEAR ORIGINAL WARRANTY OF THEM TO YOUR GROUP BUT OBVIOUSLY ESOUND AND US COULD NOT BEAR THE TRANSPORTATION COST; I WISH YOU CAN UNDERSTAND THAT AS THE PRICE FOR THIS GROUP BUY IS FOR PROMOTION PURPOSE AND THE PROFIT MARGIN IS VERY SMALL INDEED.
