Default How much money to spend on CD player relative to reciever/speakers?

Eeyore said:


I've never heard a single good word about TEAC CD players ( I'd categorise them
as 'also-rans' ) and Sony ones tend to be overpriced relative to what's actually
inside them ( you pay for the name ).



Never heard of the VRDS10 and 20?
The P700?


Never heard of Sony's fixed pickup mechanism?
The CDP-XA50?


Landmarks of technology in their days, and still in use by some.



And how is TEAC involved ?



Huh?
You mention TEAC as an "also-ran", I dispute that.
You, as an audio pro, should be aware of TEAC's (Tascam) achievements
in the broadcast- and pro audio field, as well as in domestic hifi.
