Halcro still in business??

Forums

I have emailed the folks at Halcro 2 times requesting information as to where the nearest dealer to me is. The web page says you'll receive a response within 24 hours ... it's been well past that time frame and still not a peep.
A few weeks ago I stumbled across a dealer in New York (Lyric Hi-Fi) that said in their "brands we offer" list that they carried Halcro ... when I rechecked a few days ago, Halcro was no longer on their list ... which makes me wonder if they've gone under down under.

best cd player under $200?

i have a basic system that i bought about 6-7 years ago, Klipsch front and rear speakers, Yamaha receiver. i am currently using a POS Panasonic DVD player as a makeshift cd player, and it skips significantly on burned cds and sucks in general. would you all recommend a cd player to replace this that deals well with CD-Rs? i don't think my system is sophisticated enough to drop $500+ on a high-end cd player, and it looks like there aren't many single-disc players on the market nowadays. I see the NAD C515BEE CD Player retails for around $300, is this my best bet?
