That I will admit. But if one has to worry about replacing a piece of silicon that costs 50 cents with one costing 5 Bucks (and in a CD Player there are not all that many of them) then maybe one should not have the CD-Player, as I guess one could not afford the CD's to play on it anyway.

If you want cheap, get something cheap and live with it.

That I will agree with, as long as by definition "High Quality" Audio is one of these Audio applicatiosn that fall outside the "most" qualification.
