No, Tom. All CD players are not that bad. I have a Technics SLP-8k, which
I bought way back in 1984. And, knock on wood, I have not had a single
problem with it. Note, this is one of the old, second-generation, CD players
that has all the features of the new units, but was built in relatively small
batches for an uncertain market.
