Music Hall cd25.2 player. Average? or Upgrade?

I saw a very good review of thew Music Hall cd25.2 CD player in Sterophile in April 2006. I need to upgrade my player but don't want to spend a $1000 How good is the the Music Hall across the board?? Can you buy a better player for the same money ($599) or for approximately $150-200?? more All opinions welcomed!!

You can get a Cayin 15 from New York sound for like $800 includes shipping. Nice player.

Agree with the Underwood Mod advice.
I own the CD25 in both stock and upgraded form.
Upgrade will buy you more detail but both are absolutely well worth the money.
The upgraded player is in use in my main system and has more than kept pace with every other upgrade i've made to the system over the past three years.
I would suggest that you try to make sure there are tubes somewhere else in your system, not that these players are at all bright, but the tubes really help take them to the next level.
