Used CD player has usually more deminishing return than the new one.

Cheers!

Used CD player has usually more deminishing return than the new one.

I don't understand this statement. Do you mean that a used CD player is not as good as a new one?

The Consonance tube 24/192 Reference 2.2 player received rave reviews and created excitement at the recent Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. Has a remote volume control for running direct to an amp. Can run balanced. Looks as good as it sounds.

No doubt for me: Philips DVD 963SA. Incredible redbook sound. With equally excellent SACD playback and DVD-video option.
