For those who are waiting for the price of CD players to drop to the price of calculator watches: An audio chain in the LA area is selling a "2nd generation" player for $149. It's a (yuk!) Emerson which is manufactured by (yum!) Yamaha. (At least that's what the salesman was saying). Ami Motro

Well, I bought a Magnavox 2040 for $179.95 here in Jersey, also looked at the Emerson (yuk) for about $149. Rich Schiraldi rruxe!bsisrs

CD players with reduced specs (probably still better than what most could hear and better than what you expect) are indeed starting to show up. I'm not sure I'd consider Emerson, even if it was made by Yamaha, but it would still probably show up most of the rest of my system, except possibly my Beta Hi-Fi. Personally, I want the portable Sony (D5???) that I can use in the car, portable, or at home. Maybe this Christmas..... mikey at trsvax
