If all you're looking for is a CD player, check out this Marantz for only $130 (normally sells for $299). It's got a 1 yr factory warantee and you can buy another couple of years cheaply. A 5 CD changer, and I've always liked the Marantz sound. Smooth.... I got my DVD player from them and it was absolutely brand new; probably a return. Never a problem or hiccup. I've had Marantz for years, currently using their HT receiver. Good luck in your search!

Success is not the result of spontaneous combustion: you must set yourself on fire!
