A comment on the CD player purchase. The best advise that I could give you is to bring CD's that you are very familiar with to an audio salon that carries your equipment or to work with an audio salon that will allow you to audition the component at your place. There are so many great CD players around at all price points that it should not be hard to find a few that will meet your listening expectations and your financial constraints.
Read all of the reviews that you can about the components and assume that the component is not as good as the great reports and not as bad as the negative ones. Trust your ears. The only opinion that matters is yours. Good Luck.
