Sorry I am laughing. That Stan Warren Aiwa/MSB combo is what the Chicago Audio Society uses as their reference CD player. It is compared against all other players they demo. (see www.chicagoaudio.org) Show as where your Rad Shack player has beat it out. I am sure the folks in Chicago would be glad to test it at their next meeting. Stan's stand alone Pioneer DVD player mods are close behind. He will modify a Pioneer 5 Disc DVD player as a stand alone player.
