Any good player selling for under $200 (note that he did not
say $2000) should work as well as any exotic selling for any
price. When it breaks, replace it with a newer model selling
for about the same thing. You can buy a lot of cheap players
for what one exotic costs and as long as it works OK it will
sound as good as any of them.
