Recommendations for a CD player $1500 or less

American Theatre in FLA can deliver one for $1180 in the US. See the ad on the "Gon listings under Sony. Kevin Mcrory will help you.

Dave b, Are they an authorized dealer and the unit comes with a USA warranty? I've seen their ads but based on past experience I just assumed they were grey marketing Sony as they have other stuff like Marantz (sold without a USA warranty).

Mine actually came from the Record Shop in NJ, who is associated with Kevin. I geuss until I need service I won't really know for sure/

Newbee - I haven't heard this unit but it might be an option to look at - its a Marantz CD/SCAD that Music Direct has on sale to $1400 versus regular $1900 - don't think I saw the warranty stated but I know from buying a Marantz CD afew months ago to use as a transport its 3 yearsand Music Direct doesn't sell grey market - just a thought - good luck

I just spoke with Kevin and he assured me that I have the full 5 year warranty. I love the player:O)
