Music Hall CD-25 vs. Shanling CD-S100 : Same?

I've tried to figure out the difference between these two players, but they appear to be the same. They have the same drive, servo system, d/a chip, hdcd, op-amp chip and separate power supply for digital and analog, as well as the same look and build. However, in Canada the Music Hall retails for $1,000 and the Shanling for $700. Any thoughts or information out there???

Thanks.

The newer Music Halls have a cleaner metallic remote, instead of the Star Trek Phaser I got for picking this player up last summer.

Are you referring to the Music Hall cd-25 MkII or the second generation cd-25. The original Musical Hall cd-25 is exactly the same as the shanling s100 which should only be around $500(US dollars).

I also have the first generation Music Hall remote. You guys hit it on the head, what a lousy piece of junk. On the plus side, so far, I have not had any issues with it. But, most players available at KMart have a better looking remote.

The new one Roy went to is a lot better looking, but still will not be nominated for any awards.

Of course, you could say that Musical Fidelity's remotes are not the finest either...
