| CD player with no mechanical noise I owned a Philips player that made mechanical noises (whirring, clicking) and gave it to my daughter rather than sell to someone else. I think players based on a Sony transport are inherently quiet. The Sony high end players I've owned were absolu... | |

| How many records do you own? Approximately 400 - 450. The strange thing is I just purchaced a turntable for my 16 year old daughter. She found a record shop selling used vinyl and is enthusiastic. Probably a short lived phase but I don't want to discourage her. | |

| Don't care for my Philips 963 I had the same problem with my Philips. I only had a couple of SACDs and did go the DAC route for a while. My unit started making mechanical whirring sounds when palying discs so I gave it to my daughter at college. It makes a fine dvd player for ... | |
