Personally, i wouldnt go with the pioneer 100s, i think there horrible. you should go with a good denon like the 2600 or the 2100. Pioneer does make some good cd players like the 700's, which i still use and love, the new ones pionner made 1000 they also very good but if you really want to scrach, get turntables. If you are going to get equiptment, get the best stuff, dont get shit cause you will regret it and it will also cost you more money in the long run. hope i helped
