I don't care if you are Bill Gates. If you spend $25,000 on a cd player, you are a moron.

Seriously? there's a Goldman CDP for $135K???? and will that sound 100x better than my lowly modded Denon2910 in my lowly system??? Very unlikely. Crazy stuff.

If I had the bread, I'd probably spend it on another Porsche.

The ONLY way I'd touch such a megabuck CD player is if I was issued a gold plated guarantee of support for the next 2 decades. CD players are subject to certain parts, usually laser or transport, being NO LONGER available.
If, 5 years down the line I was told 'Sorry, can't get the part', I'd go completely Postal.
That, and modular electronics, subject to new module plug in of (hopefully) improved modules and easily fixed if broken, would be another requirement.
