hey Mike,
(i think you have me mixed up with all the other John's posting in this thread, I typically go by Scott, but have been called a number of other things, most of which aren't repeatable on this forum
).
Good call, and i think i had looked at that model...but had forgotten one other stipulation in my other post - it has to be black (it had looked to me like the 5890 was only available in silver. Prices look good, only problem is you've got $USD listed and, while our dollar is getting closer all the time, that's still a little more than I had been hoping to spend. I think the 5990 is listed as $1K on Bestbuy's & Futile Shop's websites. The Pioneer 1015 looked like the answer for only $500 on boxing day sales, but no phono.
