Shanling CD S-100 vs: Music Hall CD25


Ok.. maybe someone can clear the confusion on these two players. To me they are identical, yet the Music Hall is selling for $600 US, and the Shanling CD S-100 is available for $650 CDN, ummm last time I checked this works to roughly $411 US.
I got my Shanling from the Harmonia Audio website, and found them to be really great to deal with. It's a great CD player for the money. Very clear and focused sounding.
Just don't expect it to be a Levinson killer, but it works wonderfully in my second system.

Music Hall is the North American Importer of Shanling.Both built in Same Chinese Factory.Lickly are same unit.
Because the Canadian Distrubutor wants to make a fair profit.
The US distributor figures Americans will pay more for less.

Same Chinese Factory same product.Go Figure.

A year ago before the US distributor got Involvd the Shanling Tube CD player was 1000.00 US Its 1995.00.

That should give you some perspective.

Buy North American made products.
