Your article was very enlightening! thank you!
     
      A little while ago i posted an article on the net asking if anyone new
anything about the Magnavox 1040 CD Player. Service Merchandise had it on
sale for about $150 and i thought it was a good deal.  No one responded to
my inquiry, so i decided not to purchase the unit.  After reading your article
i decided that i'm going to buy the 1040 this christmas.  Before i purchase the
unit, however, i would like some more information about it.
     
      First, what generation is the 1040, and how many bits does it sample?
(that question may be a bit strange, but i really don't know enough about CD's
to ask it any other way!). Second, could you please send me the addresses of
Musical Concepts and the Phillips facility from which you purchased the
schematic diagrams.  Third, do you know of any reviews in audio magazines
that cover the 1040 (or phillips/mission) CD players.  Finally, could
you please tell me of a good mail order
house that stocks the components (caps, resistors, etc) that you list in your
article (if you know of any place of course!).  I've been pulling my hair out
trying to order parts for my various small projects.
     
Thank you very much,                              Sunil Gupta (GOT@PSUVM)
