Opinions audio and video on the Cary DVD-6?


I've actually just purchased a lightly used unit, and am anticipating using it as both a DVD and CD player (filling my need for the former and replacing my Rega Planet 2000 for the latter). I am interested in opinions from those who have used (or are using) the Cary. Listening impressions, especially as they relate to tweaks/synergistic associated interconnects/cables, and viewing impressions are all welcome.

Thanks in advance!

I'm also considering buying a Cary DVD-6 to use as both a CD and DVD player, so I'd be interested in your impressions, particularly of the Redbook CD playback. It's received a very good review from Secrets: http://www.hometheaterhifi.com/cgi-bin/shootout.cgi?function=search&articles=all&type=DVD+Player&manufacturer=0&maxprice=4000&deInt=0&mpeg=0#Cary%20AudioDVD-6

I've considered some more expensive players like the Esoteric DV-50 or perhaps the Lexicon RT-10, but I have no interest in DVD-A or SACD, so they seem like overkill. Also the RT-10 seems to have a number of problems as a DVD player, although audio playback is supposed to be excellent. Denon's seem quite good for video, but I'm not sure about the audio quality.

Love to hear some impressions of the DVD-6, since it seems like a very good middle ground. Thanks,

Warren
