I have the 40-z, got it out of a display for half price. I've only had one issue and it's really minor. Somtimes perfectly clean CD's will start to skip about 7-10 seconds into the first track, right after loading. If I eject it, turn the cd a little and reinsert it works fine everytime. A little weird, but I'll live with it for the price I got on it!

Other than that it's exctly what I wanted and sounds great. The only thing I want is to be able to turn off the AUX input option since I don't have anything hooked to it. My wife's Blau has that option and it's really nice (but I'm just being picky here).
