Regarding current production goods, I prefer to purchase ones that have beed on the market for a while, as opposed to current release. Gives time to prove reliability and to work out possible 'bugs'.
when a manufacturer, like Cambridge with the 851C, , lowers the list price significantly on a 5 year old player, I figure a new one is soon to come...and I do think digital has had innovations over the past 5 years
Couple years ago at my Audio Club a major cable company was making a compare and contest blind test system save speakers of course , behind folding panels . Lots of positive comments from forty or so Audiophiles present . In Q and A after one guy asked what kind of CD player was that ? Rep blushed and said he forgot his and it was a 25 year old Sony he bought at Goodwill across the street for 5 bucks .
