Customer: I’m interested in buying a CD player, but I’m a little confused. What’s the difference between this Fony CD player and the Yamagoto?

As a matter of fact, all Demmon players have superb sound quality. Cust: Sound is important. I’m just not too sure if I can afford $649 worth of sound. Do you have a player with the direct access feature that’s a little cheaper than the Demmon? Greg: Yes, we do. We have a wonderful five-disc Sonapanic with direct access that’s going
