| Ok:
Sony CDP-102!
$399 at Lechmere
It has Sony's latest "unilinear converter system", which is their fancy name
for oversampling and digital filtering. Comes with a remote. Front loading.
You can't program the sequence of the tracks, but you can set stop/start
points at any location within a track. Have yet to hear it mistrack, even
on dirty discs. Sound is (if I may insert an abused word) awesome.

| I second reply -1. I just got the CDP-102 because I had to trade
in the Technics SL-P7 that I had bought a few months earlier.
The disc drawer of the Technics would not stay in, so seeing as
that the SL-P7 is not made anymore and Lechmere doesn't carry it
anymore, I got full credit for it and paid $100. more for the Sony
CDP-102. I did notice a difference in the sound. It's much more
clean and transparent, plus the Sony doesn't make that annoying
high pitched motor noise that the Technics did. I love the remote
control and the black finish so I didn't mind paying another $100.
for a player, and the (to my ears) better sound is just frosting
on the cake.

| Hi guys, my name is Charles Lin. I am new to this system and am absolutely
delight to read different articles here. I would like to give my recommendation
to sony as well. I got my sony in japan this summer for $280, but a friend
told me that 47th St Photo in NYC supposedly sells for $299(which would make
it a steal!). anyway, i found the machine to be excellent, including ease
of operation. since i listen to classical most of the time, i find programming
capability to be unnecessary. but even if you like to skip around, the acess
time (to any tracks) is ALWAYS about 2 seconds! Since i came back from japan
(end of june), i have increased my cd collection to 45. I have a lot of
japanese song which are very nice to listen to even though i understand very
little of the lyrics. if anyone is interested in listening to them, call
me at 225-7063 or troll::clin. that is if you get to read this message;
this file has so many notes (220 or so!). i had just spent last 4 hrs reading
them, and i am just at this point. for anyone wanting to talk audio, my
system consist of dynaco 416 power amp, accuphase preamp (forgot model #),
ar speakers, nakamichi tape deck, thorens 318 turntable, and about 400 vinyl
discs, which i still listen but less. hope to hear from you guys soon.
bye! charles

| Re .4,
Welcome!, We 'see' you alright because we tend to use the 'since'
command in notes, which allows you to read all additional after
a specified date.
We (my wife and I) 'discovered' japanese music thorugh compacts.
There is really some good stuff avaiable there. Looking forward
to try more.
Hein,
