Thanks, Ray. I check out the link(s). On the players, have you considered any outside of Denon for quality? Also, what about simple CD playing of music? How does Denon do?

Don't forget, I'm all about paying what is necessary to ensure as best quality sound as possible--without paying for other crap that doesn't matter. I'm not too much into video, since I don't have my LCD I want yet.

Interesting enough, I know some vendors sell players for over 5K; I just don't get it.
