Parasound CDB-2000 vs CEC TL2., Worth the upgrade?
Great question! We are in the same boat. I've had a Parsound CBD-2000 for several years. It has been great until recently, starting to not read discs and such. Don't know if I should replace laser and belt for 200-300 bucks plus shipping charges t...

One last comment..SACD is also here now and I'm enjoying every second I get a chance to listen to it. There will always be something better, enjoy what you have now until the upgrade bug bites again. Ha! Remember Sony's sales pitch about CD- "Perf...

Just to add, I am NOT saying do not invest in Blu Ray now. It is an awesome format. It is here now and for $300 bucks you will get your monies worth. Enjoy!

Agreed Undertow. Just saying that if one has never heard SACD and does not care about having it within their Blu Ray player now would be a great time to check it out. I still can't believe so many people have never even listened to SACD. Good luck...

Save up a few more hunderd bucks and wait for the Oppo BDP-983 Blu Ray player with SACD and DVD-Audio. It also has bulit in Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master audio decoders with 7.1 analog outputs. If it follows Oppo's track record, it will be a gian...
