I got mine on sale too, and agree with you, "a very good player for the money" is what it was, but nothing more than that. Edit: As an example, it was dull and rolled off compared to my JVC XL-Z1050TN player. And that included when running the 3400 with an external, higher current battery supply.The only reviewer I remember having the courage to point that out during the frenzy was the later burned at the stake, Corey Greenberg.
Sam Tellig seemed to be the main hype-maker for the 3400, but then he did that a lot, in my opinion.
