I'm kinda the same as Bren, except I had an old Kenwood changer. Used the crap out of it, then I gave it to a friend. I think the new Denon changers are a great deal, and look decent. I remember a friend had an older HK changer, and one thing that bugged me was that some of the buttons were located at the bottom of the player, so when you had the tray open, it was hard to get to those buttons as it was underneath the tray. A little annoying. Just a thought.
