Heard the Abbingdon Music research CD player?

I dont see Hoover disclosing it on the front page of their web site ;)

Oh man, I am interested in anything Thorsten does, but 93 lbs! I had a SCD-777ES at merely half that weight and messed my back up a few times...

Williamdc,obviously the player is not for the light of heart and should require a strong back as well! I think that a friend may be in order for installing this one but as you said " I am interested in anything Thorston does" is also how i feel as well. I am hoping that a friend puts up the stratch and brings this monster in soon ( even though I will be the one who gets the lifting honours). Take care Dennis

all major ticket items..tv's, autos, furniture, etc disclose manufacturing info. its not wrong (or bad) to buy products from any country, its just wrong for any manufacturer to hide behind the generality of 'overseas', particularly when they are asking us to make a major investment. many of these 'instant' hi end companies will disappear, no matter how nice they sound. a little history or info on their website could only help them, not hurt them.

Jaybo,owning a factory seems to me as a major investment as one may make!The declarations of a company would add to the credentials of said company and solidify the manufacturs image in the consumers mind.On the other hand ,Thorston's reputation is well established in the audio world,weither he feels the need to inform us is his privalege.I do feel that accountablity is a responsibilty for everyone-Cheers Dennis
