What's the "worst" cdp for the money?

my Sony 9000ES, players costing 1/3 (when it was new) were more musical to me,
I have heard Naim at a few occasions and must agree very uninvolving, unmusical unless player

unless you like metal, rap
and similar loudly crap :)

sony scd777es... one of the worst sounding players i've ever heard in my system. i'll never understand what other see in this 50# boombox.

What does that make an un-modded Denon 2900,a clock radio?

One problem with this thread is that if you already have one (or more) of the CD players mentioned it this thread, it can be bad to see them listed. I have both the Linn Genki and the Shanling T100. After reading this thread, should I just commit suicide, or what?

Just kidding on that last one.......
