I can't help with the DVD, but I picked up a marantz receiver off a seller here used for $400 sr-5004 I believe and it was vastly better than the price would reflect and gave me everything I needed (HDMI inputs 7.1 etc.) including good dac performance for my old Sony es DVD I am using as a cd source. It was bought as a stop gap, but it is a keeper. While I don't use the internal amp (I have tube amps) I did try it in bridged two channel and it performed well. I also hear good things about the top of the line marantz which retails for $1500 which would indicate that you could get last year's model for less (even though msrp was higher than $1500 last year).
Suggestions for used reciever and player?
I was in the hobby untill 2007. My old system was a mcintosh b&w set up. I wanted to take a step back into the hobby again and was hoping to get a few suggestions.
I am looking for a used reciever and dvd player for under 1000.00. Unfortunatelly I will not be able to obtain what I had with this set up but it will be a step towards it.
In your opinion what recievers/dvd player at this price point will have a very warm, musical, liquid, very detailed sound? I had the marantz 9600 with the 5 channel upgrade and loved it.
Any help is greatlly appreciated.
