I agree. I also have to snicker at people spending over $400 for CD players..single disc players at that. If I had an unlimited budget I would probably get a high dollar CD player, but in the real world I just don't see it. I was ready to go around $200 for a higher end used Rotel or Adcom changer, but have decided to just wait for the Toshiba 5 disc player that's coming out that supports DVD-Audio, SACD, MP3, WMA, and of course DVD and sells for $179.
