I have a Rotel (RCC940) and a Carver (SD/A-360) 5 disc changer, both built in 1993. And both in Japan. Someone posted on here once that Carver did not make a lot of their CDP. I am guessing that Rotel might have done some of the work....or a 3rd party made components that they both used. Take a look at the pics. I am sure that 5 disc CD changers have to have some of the same geometrics, but take a look at the backsides and see how all the screws and connection points are the same. Also, the remotes are virtually the same with some difference in key placement. I don't know that it means much, but I thought it interesting. (Of course, I guess a look inside might reveal more).

    and it is some cheapy off brand (goldstar?) The remote is a dead ringer, but the front of the unit (where is says "remote sensor", also the disc selector buttons) are spot on as well.

    Yeah, I was referring to me.....not sure why I find such things so interesting....made me think the Carver CDP could be better than I thought if Rotel had made it. I do like its sound. And to add to the story, there is a Carver A-350 on the FS listing and it looks very different from my A-360 even though made about the same time.
