I use an XA20ES in my secondary system and have been impressed with its build quaility and fixed laser transport. However, you may wish to consider the Sony C333ES SACD/CD player. It has much better CD sound than the XA20ES and offers SACD capability. The 333ES build quaility is at least as good as that of the XA20ES- it weighs over 23 lbs. If you move quickly, you can get the 333ES from Oade Brothers for $550- only $50-$75 more than an XA20ES.
