Richards:
I was going thru something quite similar not too long ago.
After thinking thru my options and priorities, I chose
to purchase a Philips 963 here on AG. I have been pleased.
In my experience, all of the positive things that have been
said ring true. Very good DVD player, and for me my first
taste of SACD. I haven't tried the unit as a redbook player
as my Transport/DAC combination remains in place :o).
For the modest cost, I have been tickled pink. Depending
of course on your priorities, I don't see how you could go wrong.
