French CD players' sound ?

I've had a Micromega Stage 2 for a couple of years now and really like it sonically. So much so that I turned down an opportunity to replace it with a Theta Miles (unbalanced) because I didn't think the Miles was "better enough" in my system. However, mechanical reliability is getting to be an issue with this 6-year-old player. Does anyone out there have experience with the sonic signatures of other French offerings? Audio Refinement, Audio Meca, YBA.

For those who don't, but can't resist an appeal for a recommendation, I'm not necessarily looking for a neutral player. I like the warm, slightly soft (but clear) sound I get from the Micromega in my system. My room doesn't allow holographic imaging, although I have managed a decent "phantom center". The rest of the chain is Cary (pre), Threshold (power) and Apogee (speakers).

Because on person happens to make an statemant like so and so company has serious QC problems sure does not make it a fact.Bottom line, is I know of no company that does not have a complaint about something in their product line.If this dealer is so concerned about the problems with Audio Aero's QC why is he even carrying it?Seems to me I would be looking for something else that is more dependable.

From my dealings with Audio Aero,they are proffesional,caring and will bend over backwards to straighten out any problems.I know of one customer who had a problem with one Capitole.Most companies with tell you to send it back and they would repair it.Not this one.They sent him a brand new piece.I would be interested to see how many manufacturers would stand by their product like that!
