Sony 7000: bought it as a DVD player and junked the CD player when I discovered that the sound quality of the 7000 was much better. The 7000 received many components and design elements of the top of the line Sony CD players at the time and I hear this is not the case with any of the new Sony DVD players. Buy one used for $400/500 and you get a cheap CD player with the DVD thrown in for free!
