Unferth, Thanks for the info on the cables. I followed the links and did some interesting reading. The pure silver, sound like a cool project. Soundhound, way to go with those Canare RCAs. I actually found some information on there bulk cables. They seam to be very good and moderately priced. Now, what about the 45a? I went to a local store last weekend with hope to purchase it but they did not have it hooked up. I read an article in last months Home Theater Mag. They compared it to an Onkyo DV-SP800 and a Marantz, can’t remember model, if I recall correctly it said that for the price it was excellent. I read the article briefly my brother-in-law would not part with it and now it’s off the shelves. Can anyone offer an opinion? I am mainly interested in the Pioneer for its ability to play DVD Audio and SACDs. What are the difference between the 45a and 47ai and at $377 and $677 which seams to be the better choice for an entry level Universal DVD Player?

Thanks, all
