I'm not sure why anyone would buy a budget CD player outside of the Music Hall MMF25 CD player. Competes with most players out in the market as things are.
Kray, I just sold my MMF25, and it was one heck of a player. I had to jump up to a reference level CD player to actually outshine it. I feel so strongly about it, I recently submitted a thread about the player

I have not listened to most of the new wave of Chinese imports, but the reliability, sonics, build quality, and having a Roy Hall behind the company make it a clear choice for me. Put it this way, I can't recommend the player enough to people, and if I ever need another non reference level player, I won't even have to think about it.
