(Disclaimer) Though I enjoy and have considerable amounts of stereo I
am not an esoteric audiphilist, I happen to think that you can buy large
market brands that sound just as good and cost less than all this stuff
that the esoterics on the net try to peddle.

I have owned a 1040 for maybe 6 mos. now and since I'm not really too big
on the fancy programming features have been very happy with it.  Its error
correction is very good and the sound is excellent (but then I too am in
the camp that most CD players are indistinguishable when personal
prejudices are eliminated).  My unit, at least, has been very reliable,
and you can't beat the price.  ..True, Magnavox is an american subsidiary
of Philips international.
