I would get the Sony CDP-XA7ES. Definitely very nice sounding for redbook only unit. I like it a good bit better than the stock Sony SCD-777ES.

You may want to look at the Onix CDPs thru AV123 Audio. They are made by the same company that produces Music Hall. I upgraded the op-amps and the machine sounds pretty good. I've had it for 3 years. Used Onix-88s go for $250-$400 on Agon. There's also several Ah!NJOE TJOEH 2000 CDPs on Agon if you want to try tubes. There are several reviews on these players. Dave
