[net.audio] CD Players - rq for info

(Apologies in advance for a potential rehash - I just started subscribing)

I'm planning on buying a CD player soon and am looking for experience
with the Sony, the Hitachi and the B & O.  So far I like the features
of the Sony and the price of the Hitachi (approx $500 in San Diego).

My understanding is that there are two types of players, Phillips-inspired
and Sony-inspired.  According to some of the magazines (esp. the English
ones), there are serious problems with Sony school's analog circuitry - rumored
to be fixed in a follow-on model.

Which manufacturers fall into which schools?

Any light?
