I've decided to focus my search for a changer on a $200-300 price point rather than the el-cheapo $100 route. My initial post was a way to see what others thought of going that route as most of the discussion seems to focus on mid-to-high end...which is of course totally understandable.

KeithH,
Thanks for the lengthy response. My system isn't high-end by any measure, but I've got about $2,000 invested in it at the moment. I wouldn't mind spending another $200-300 on a good quality built CD player that I'm going to keep for a number of years. My dad still has a Fisher setup...

I guess my question boils down to...
