[net.audio] Acck, did I goof?

I'm new to this group and having just read all of the mail for the
past month (whew!), i'm curious and concerned.  You see, I never
really cared about audio equipment before, but I love almost
all types of music.  One day last week, an audiophile offered to
sell me his "inferior" Kenwood CD player so that he could step up
to a newer, better (and more expensive) model.  He said that he had
paid $895 for his Kenwood CD and had seen it on sale for $695
recently, so he offered to sell it to me for $300.  It sounded wonderful
to me, so I bought it.

But upon reading everyone's letters, I noticed that NO ONE even mentioned
this CD player.  Furthermore, everyone has been saying that the first
CD players on the market were garbage and that now, they are much improved.

Now, my instincts are to say "I like the way it sounds and it works,
so don't worry", but did I make a big mistake?  Is this thing going to
die on me real soon?  Is it really so bad that nobody buys it?

It sounds perfect to me.  Audio is in the ear of the beholder.  If it 
sounds good to you, go with it.
