Looking for a CDP from a company that'll be around

I imagine Cary, Sony and Marantz might be around in 5 - 6 years given their current status. They make some pretty decent players in your price range.

Bryston BCD-1. Longest warranty in the industry. Not as long as on their amps (because of inherent problems with transports) but longer I think than anyone else. Also, conservative company, very likely to be around.

I think it is a great question and is relevant considering the state of the economy. It seems to me that long standing companies that use professional grade transports give you your best shot at longevity. I am considering the same question, and I believe that Marantz, Sony, Denon, Pioneer, Cary, Rotel, and a few others are likely to survive. Its anybody's guess, but small esoteric manufacturers are going to have a tough time in the next few years unless they are ultra high end (price is no object). Or they are high volume with wide-spread distribution and service networks. IMO.

Thanks to all for the input! Look, I am past the stage of sonic experimentation: selling, trading, buying, swapping...and finally, I am positive, I've settled down to a system I've had now for a couple years. Pragmatic stuff- like value, service, longevity and reliabilty are now the top priority. I am also now a big believer in the diminishing returns side of things, and frankly, with CD-format being in a state of what it is, $2-2.5k used for a CDP is what I'd be comfortable with and feel good about.
That said, Bryston+Marantz+Rega+Krell+Esoteric look good and are reasonably diversified.
Audio Research and some other high-priced mainstays might just price themselves out into extinction. One- (or two-) man operations aren't looking so good at all!
Economic instability definitely makes one think twice about extravagant hi-fi purchases..since no one really wants to end up with a $2-3k boat anchor
