Golden ears and Aball are right. I sell Parasound and Jolida. I own Parasound gear. If you go to a small hi-fi shop and ask their advice they will give it to you and mean every word of it because they have to fight the internet and big box stores to stay in buisness.
Any store that sells mid-fi to hi-fi gear should let you take it home to audition.
The Jolida is one sweet CD player. Other options are NAD, Sony ES (great audio and video on the DVD players), and COnsonance.
Good luck.
