Sony is over rated... I had a Blaupunk ?sp? CDP01 indash CD player,
and B.P. Dallas tuner in my previous Dakota... The BP player was one of
the last Philips- made CD players from BP (then they went with a Sony
pickup
when BP went Japanese)... The CDP01 would play ANY CD...without
skipping...
I had a disc that was sanded with sand paper (it was a Moody Blues CD I
found).
It wouldn't skip, and sounded as clear as any new CD). I put the same CD
in
my friend's Kenwood 10 CD changer... It wouldn't recognize the disc. The
same
CD in my Pioneer DEH-880 (5 years old now) would play it, but skip on
certain
tracks. My wife has an Alpine 6 disc changer... It plays it flawlessly...
So I guess an 8 year old CD player vs. a brand new one (Alpine) and
you get the same technology....
If you want to get a CD player, get a messed up CD and see which
units will play it before you buy... A small scratch can make a CD useless
in
some players...
