Hello:

I'm in the market for a new CDP - my friends tell me i'm out of the times with a 1985 Philips & 1990 Sony.

A friend suggested the CD-A8T, a Chineses-made Tube/Solid State HDCD/CD Player ($700 US + $40 shipping + duty), with a three year warrantee. Anything goes wrong, you tell them, and they ship you a new part. I don't know the exact details.

He rates it at A++, says the remote is made of cast aluminum and weighs about a pound, and the CDP is built like a brick ....,

Anyone have experience with this one, or wish to offer comments?
