I've seen mention of the Technics sl-xp7 (the new portable CD player) in
the audio magazines for the past few months, but they don't seem to have
shown up in stores yet.  Does anyone now if there is a good reason?
For those who aren't familiar with it, it is slightly smaller than Sony's
portable, and has specs similar to Technics home CD players (in other words,
pretty poor compared to most decent players, but probably adequate, and
definitely better than the Sony D-5).

I'm attracted to a portable, thinking that it would be nice to be able to
have good music in every room of the house, but I'm wondering if this unit
would make an adequate substitute for a larger home unit (say a Magnavox
1040, which at $100 cheaper might sound better).  Any comments?
