I have a Sony CDP-302 player. Out of about 90 disks, only two have not
played properly. One lost all audio in the left channel for about 1/4
second, the other had what sounded like pops.
Both problems were reproducable on a Discman.
The disk with pops was visibly physically damaged.
A friend got a 302, and has also had (virtually) no problems.
I am so happy with what I have, I am getting a second player, and am very
hesitantly trying a Technics SL-P2 for my office. I'd rather get a Sony 102,
but the price difference is large.

My Sony CDP 102 has worked without any problems since that fateful
delivery day two months ago. Btw, Wisconsin Discount Stereo carries
it at $376 delivered. The local stores sell it at full list ($450).
Adding the Illinois sales tax I would have had to pay, I saved $100.
Delivery took four weeks and was shipped UPS COD. I highly recommend
WDS. Their phone number is 608-271-6889.
Overall the added feature set of the 302 is not worth the money.
Having a remote control is more useful than programmability. I tend
to listen to disks all the way through anyway.
