I have been using a Toshiba SD-9200 for both movies and music. It is great for both. Former Stereophile class A cd player. You should be about to get one for about $500. Build quality is excellent. You won't be disappointed.
Advice for new source.
I recently moved and lost the dedicated room so the system is doing double duty for 2 channel audio and movies. I have a crappy DVD player and a Rega Planet2000. Looking to replace the Rega with a similarly priced (on the used market) combination player. Don't get me wrong about the Rega, as I really so like it but, you know, change is good and I don't see another dedicated room soon. SACD is not essential since I only have about 4 of 'em (hybrids bought for the cd with a thought for the future)
I have been looking at the:
Sony DVP-S9000ES
Philips SACD1000 (or 963sa) (lotsa mixed reviews hear)
I'm sure there are other choices so do you know any that would be in the $600-$800 used arena. (I'd be willing to spend a bit on top of what I get for the Rega but money is a bit tight and I could sell some extra cables too.)
Any ideas?
PS. If you look at my system the photos are old but the information is current.
