Sony C90 ES, IMO best price/performance ratio. If you want to beat its quality you have to spend quite a bit more. Nakamichi is a good buy as well, but not much functionality or looks wink

And about the Brands thing....A brand is just a name. I'm sure you can pic a good CD player from each of those names! Choose the product which has everything you want in a CD player....Not because of its name! :p

Alpines are nice but I wish they offered a SQ unit comparable to the C90 or Nak...and same with Kenwood.

Sorry for ranting smile
