Best for $180

I don't think you can do much better than the Kenwood eXcelon KDC-X589 in that price range. I got mine several weeks ago on ebay(from Locust Audio) for $158 shipped(Crutchfield is asking $250).

It has excellent SQ and they FINALLY ditched the stupid(and troublesome) D-Mask feature. I always loved my four year old KDC-X717 but the X589 is a better unit. It has better SQ and offers a very welcome feature,a motorized face.

You can also dial in the sound with its three-band parametric EQ,crossovers,etc.

For the money the 589 is hard to beat.

 
the entry level eclipse cd player is usually around $180 at a local store, probably cheaper if you could find it online although difficult. also, the entry level eclipse cd/mp3 player is about $200. i have an entry level eclipse cd/mp3 from '03 and have been very happy with it.
