I've owned a Technics SL-P7 CD player for about 3 or 4 months and have been
very satisfied.  Of course, I can't say how it compares with high end
decks.  However, if you were considering one of those, you wouldn't be building
a mid-priced system.  The SL-P7 has no fancy options, which is the probable
reason for the relatively reasonable price.  The features it does have allow
you to perform the same functions you are used to having with turntables,
control over the positioning of the "tone arm" and pausing, but with
greater ease.  For the price you quoted, $375, I`d say that it's a good
choice.

A number of fancier features can be had for about $200 or so more
with the SL-P8.  According to Audio magazine, the performance of the two
decks is identical.
