Is there really any large difference in sound from a cheap CD player
coming in at 79.99 made in China most likely, and that of a player in
the 150.00 pound category...or are we just likely to pay for the extra
faciloities on the more expensive player?
Thanks,
Tim

I've not listened to many CD palyers but I know there is a world
of difference between my Pioneer PL something at 60 pounds and my
Rega III at 200.
Then again maybe some people can't tell the difference between a
Scoda and a Rolls.

And chances are the more expensive one will have a better filter, and a
better transport or whatever. It will probably last longer. Maybe.

Now I see from the last WHat Hi-Fi that the Eclipse Cd from Richer
sounds at around 70pounds is a recommended buy, and sonically better
than others in a test for up to 150 pound machines.
It will be interesting to see how long these Chinese machines last!
I expect the drives are made in the same factories as those used in the
cheap portable CD players. I reckon it's just lower costs and
overheads that determine the price differential, hence the rush of
Western money and resources into China and S.E. Asian economies.
the technology is fairly well tested and robust.
