Two-cute-kids guy would not necessarily be incorrect.

The vague compliment guy might be onto something if I can figure out what he's onto.

Gerry, your question isn't entirely clear, but if you mean can a Blu-ray player play CDs just as well as a "dedicated" CD player can, the answer is yes. Playing CDs has reached a state of technological maturity quite a while ago and even very modestly priced players(including those that also play DVDs and Blu-rays)do so with audibly flat response and inaudibly low noise and distortion. Better than that isn't possible, despite manufacturer claims and fanciful reports of some reviewers.



Good to know, I'll stick to tubes and vinyl's so I can have some fun with distortion and harmonics.

lol Aagin thanks for all you help.
I was told running great RCA cables fro quality Cd player I would notice a differnce. A cleaner truer sound?

Also, I'm thinking of setting another system for my wife in the den. Would anyone have any experience with a Sunfire Cinema Grand HT Amplifier 5x200w? I can pick 1 up for 800.00

Nope. It won't make any difference at all.

While "great" RCA cables won't make a difference over "sufficient" ones. The cables which come with a lot of CD players are less than sufficient. If the outside diameter of the cable's insulation is only about 3mm, you'll want to get something better.

If I still did the analog thing, I'd probably pay about $29 for a stereo pair of RCA interconnect cables.
