Blu-Ray Sony for Redbook CD
Sissys not! Just prudent. Why buy a player that may be defunct in matter of months. Do your SACD and DVD A players get a lot play of time? If so, you're playing a lot of CDs on them.I suppose I should bite my lip and be quiet for if not for early ... 
Stereophile Review of Quatro Wood
