I've been reading this newsgroup for a while and would like to know if
anyone has posted some guidelines on the evaluation of CD players.  I'm
looking for a CD player and I have read and heard various opinions on
things like: over-sampling, digital vs analog filtering, single vs three
beam laser tracking, etc.  If anyone has posted such an article in the
recent past I would appreciate it if they would e-mail to me at the address
below.

One thing in particular - a local dealer (carries JVC, Sanyo, and Sony) 
suggested to me that 3-beam laser units would not last as long as 1-beam
laser units due to "the power configuration".  He suggested 6-8 years
life expectancy vs 8-10 years.  Any comments?  Please e-mail them. I will 
summarize to the net, if possible.

I've read with interest many of the articles on this group.  Thanks to
all those who post reviews of good/bad quality CD's.

Thanks in advance.
