     I am a satisfied owner of a Carver DTL-100 CD player.  I recommend
it to anyone willing to pay roughly $600 for a unit.  However you can get
nearly the same thing (less DTL circuit) by buying one of the Yamaha units.
The front panel is equally understated and the price even more so.  Try
the second from bottom model (I think) that offers 2x oversampling with
dual DACs.  (The low end uses a single multiplexed DAC.)  Use the extra
money to buy CDs.

     If all goes according to plan, some new CD pressing plants will come
on-line this fall/winter.  They will utilize new processes that will re-
sult in higher volumes and lower costs.  The CD shortage may be over soon.
And we may start to see small specialty companies doing low-volume issues
of "esoteric" music.  See August or September issue of "Digital Audio" for
details (the one that reviews "We Are the World").

     Finally !?
