I have this one…….

Not real sure if the review is favorable or not. Too much audiophile babble that I don’t understand. In short, it holds its own for music playback with some super-duper $11,000 CD player.

It’s made in Japan too. I did not know that until I stumbled onto that review this morning. I had just assumed it was made in China with everything else. Being made in Japan is a good thing, I think.

I also have a couple mega changers. While music playback is just fine with them, I can tell that something is lacking with them when I listen to the same disk with the Integra.

The "lower end" equivalent of mdrew's unit is the Onkyo DV-CP802. It is very difficult to find, but Accessories 4 Less has refurb units. AC4L is very good to deal with in my experience. That's the unit I plan to buy at some point. The only failing I know of is that when it plays on random, it will repeat songs if they come up again.

The Yammies always sound appealing, but thye have some significant shortfalls; some (all?) have problem with DualDisk DVDs, they are all considered to be extremely slow on loading and disc change. Mind, I've never used one myself except to try and open a tray on one at Good Guys (which took a very long time), so I'm just going off of reviews on the 'net. For what it's worth, Audioholics really liked the DVP-C750 when they reviewed it (other than the slowness).

Onkyo DV-CP802 at accessories4less (scroll to bottom of page) cuz Ken is a doofus who didn't check his link.

It appears the black model is currently out of stock, while the silver model is in stock. Always call before ordering to be sure an item is definitely in stock.

New link because Jack doesn't take you to the product.

You still haven't bought a Changer Ken????

Comon dude, just do it! You're going to give yourself a ulcer thinking this over.

I keep not having the money.... last time I had the Amazon gift cert, and I couldn't use it anywhere else. So I bought Bab5 DVDs. And now, well, I don't have the money... This is how I buy expensive products--I think about them for around a year or so, then bite the bullet. Right now, I'm thinking about a MacBook Pro, because I'm really starting to hate this Thinkpad T43 I got from work...

I bought the Yamaha 6770. It sounds great,but after a bit more use( and bad advice to someone on this board) it does seem to take a bit longer to load up. I can't play random anymore, just too long between songs. It is a 5 changer, and if random does not matter, and you can take the ~8-10 seconds to load up, this could be for you, Guy

You advised me, and don't worry, I didn't listen to you.

Thanks!!!?!! I didn't notice the loading until I tried the random play. Sorry about that. Guy

Heh, sorry about that, myself! If I hadn't mentioned it, you might not have noticed it.
