I had one (std issue) from ~ 1992-2005. It sounded fine for its day, but I did not find it hard to replace after it crapped out for the second time after I had it shipped out and repaired by an "expert" ~ 2 years earlier. I'm not sure I'd trust the reliability of these units in general these days given the age, plus the company is out of business.
If I were to go for a new CD these days, I'd probably first consider a second hand Musical Fidelity in the under $1000 price range in that I believe MF offers very high quality at very reasonable price.
