CD  players  certainly  sound more  alike than any other  class of audio
playback equipment.  (i.e.  turntables and cassette decks)

I personally  think that it is stretching  things to say that CD players
sound significantly  different from each other.  However, there are some
things like frequency  response which are slightly different and I could
believe that these differences could be audible if you spend enough time
looking for them.

Let me ask a similar  question:  why does  'high end'  analog  equipment
sound different?  It can't all be right.
