Yeah I read the review. Very disappointing. That JVC CD player was all the rage back in 1990. 17 years ago! I particularly preferred the McIntosh MCD7007 (using the highly regarded TDA-1541A Gold Crown DAC chip) over the JVC unit back in the day.
The SB3, even in stock form, can stand up to virtually any consumer grade CD player made. The JVC was less than $1000 back in 1990, IIRC. The McIntosh unit was twice that amount. As much as I loved my now departed McIntosh MCD7007, I consider the SB3 at least tenfold superior to it.
