I own it's little brother, the CA8ES, which I bought from the late great Gene Cavanaugh (Record Shop, Cherry Hill NJ) back in the summer of 1995. The player has given me trouble-free operation since then and it still sounds wonderful. Just for fun, I tested it against my Rotel RCD-1072 and it killed the Rotel. The detail on the Sony is unbelievable. I can't believe a changer has lasted me 17 years of continuous operation, but it has. I think that goes to show just how good the old Sony ES stuff used to be. I highly recommend the CA-ES.
