What's the "worst" cdp for the money?

The worst CD player I bought was a CEC at a yard sale here in town.
I paid $30 for it! I was so proud,I felt like I had struck gold.
It sounded very good to my ears!
I wanted to do some google research on it so I looked closely at it to get the model number on the player.In doing so, I noticed it was not CEC but NEC!! It went from sounding very good to horrible.
Worst $30 I ever spent :~)
By the way...I was a newbie then..

Judy426, just an observation as to the probable end of this thread.

And there is nothing "positive" that I see about this thread anyway, as Timrhu stated. If a Bose system gives someone enjoyment, and fulfills his audio needs...it's not a piece of junk to HIM! There are two highly regarded speakers (no names!) that always seem to generate great reviews and praise. Having heard them at 3 consecutive CES, I feel that they are vast underachievers. I'm not about to insult the listeners who enjoy them, or the manufacturers who put their pride and hard work into building them.

This is a very nasty and petty thread!

Fatparrot..I hear you..The Audiogon Police should be arriving any time now.

IMHO..they certainly have ended some very interesting threads....and for no apparent reason.

I disagree this thread should be closed. These forums include constant harping on how the audio magazines only provide positive reviews because of advertisor money, and how the cost of audio equipment has gotten out of control. We also read advertisements declaring "you would have to spend 5 times as much to achieve the performance level of their new cd/amp/dac/etc." So, why shouldn't people on this forum have an opportunity to provide their opinons of equipment that doesn't measure up for the money. Isn't one of the reasons we have these forums to share experiences and opinions? If someone believes certain equipment is not worth the money, I am interested to hear what and why. I don't believe the initial thread post was excessively negative, and assuming the posts stay away from personal attacks and gross generalizations about manufacturers, there may be some interesting information discussed.

I agree,this thread sucks!I can't wait till my player is mentioned,what fun that will be.Gary.
