Pioneer DV-37 (or is it the DV-38 for 2002?). Progressive scan. Good player. If you can pick up a Sony DVP-9000ES it is awesome (I own one). Sony has also just come out with a new progressive scan DVD player that lists for about $299 I think. This is a cheaper alternative. My vote for preamp, purely for audio/video, still goes to the B&K Ref-30 over the Acurus. Good luck.
