At best buy every day we would have sony's retured and they were like one week old. Pioneer is one the best you can buy, but the 9200 which is top of the is also bad quality, because it has so many options they break a lot. The newwer panasonics are good and a lot of alpine cd players are good (some are complicated)
just my 2 cents-chris
I happen to have a Sony XRC7200 that I got 3 years ago that still works fine and still pumps good power (At least when I was using it for power). I think you really cannot make blanket statements, even if you work at BB and see more Sony's come back. I had a Pioneer CD HU that stopped accepting CD's after 2 years for example. I never took it back, though or even replaced it yet.
