    5 -W's on CD Players

    I am curious toknow whatthe dofferencein a cheap DC DVD player to a highpriced units.
    .
    Iwas told years back when Cd's first am Sony\Phillips were seling therebrnd out as whole units to other factorys they werepulling te laserout or building aourn it in a new box and name onit.
    I was Also told mosto f your Cd player\burners come out of one factory the bulid them for every one . The factory all ready has the tooling setup for this type of pro- dution and it's cheaper to have an OEM company built the CDpalyer and put a brand name on it to having a private compny set up there own Cd plant.
    Also the laszer used is the same throughout all players .
    My bet is your just buying a better motor and some other better guts but the 50 buck CD to the 500 doallar player still use the same laszer in it !!
    It's also the same for tweeters as well , com e out of one plant in Europe they make them for every body and there brother just come with the specs and bread and they will make it any way you want. it;s cheaper to have things made this way for the speaker builders .
    Intersting stuff behind yuor brand names

    What???

    I heard that every automobile made comes out of the same factory...

    No,seriously, it's the DAC that makes the most difference in a CDP.

    I really don't know what else to say, except to ask "who" told you this stuff??

    BTW, my speakers don't have tweeters or midranges.

    To answer your question. Night and Day. Go listen to the 60.00 cd player and then listen to a good one. You will know in an instant there is a big difference. I just went from a 100.00 DVD/CD player and purchased an Arcam CD73 player. I am listening to my CDs for the first time again.

    I have not had the TV on for more than 3 minutes total since I got the new player, that was 2 weeks ago today.

    Best upgrade I ever did. Remember that the most important component in your system is the source. Get a good source and enjoy your stereo/hi fi.
