Bren- what's that camera have to do with their low-end audio products? Can you explain what you're getting at a bit further?

Just curious.

Thanks- Kevin

I don't really like the name "SONY", for some reason the name "SONY" always reminds me of Radio Shack or Walmart

Just because you see a lot of Sony nameplates at bargain places doesn't mean they don't also have better lines (and pro-sumer lines, and professional lines, and production lines, and...)

That's what I figured, but I wasn't sure. The camera in the picture looked like it may not be a recent model, so I wasn't sure if you were going for a joke or not.

I work for a division of Sony, and even with the discounts we get, the only audio gear I'd get from them is the ES line. I've had quality issues with the non-ES audio gear in the past. And with that said, I think they tend to make some of the best commercial cameras (video or still) on the market. I just wish it would carry over to the audio side.

I am very interested in getting myself an Onkyo DV-SP502. Could anyone please comment on its built-quality? I cannot find anywhere locally to see it for myself, the only models I saw at Circuit City seem quite solid. Just out of curiosity, where is it made?

In addition, if you could share your opinions on how the CD sound through analog connections! Thanks!
