This player can be had for under $300, ($229 to be exact) so that's the ceiling for my budget now. I saw in the spec that it has pitch control, I'll never use this feature. So now I'm searching for a cd player with comparable in audio quality to the Marantz but without the bells and whistles. I just want something that has good quality that has no frills. I didn't say "great quality" because that would include the exotic high-end brands, costing $1000+. I will probably get the Marantz anyways, unless you can throw out some other brands for me to research.

Thanks Alon,

Edit: I found a Cambridge Audio 340C for $279. How does that compare to the Marantz CD5001?
