It's in the December 2002 with Spidey on the cover, page 46.
Great article about the Spiderman movie, too. The dvd sounds like it is absolutely spectacular.
By the way, where did you get your 45A? Please let me know about the performance from your persepctive.
$420 sounds possibly do-able, maybe. WAF again, y'know ('Nuff said).

WOO HOO. A Gunslinger at last!! I hope I can live up to the awsome responsibility.

I think it's fabulous, but my experience is fairly limited, I've had a 5 year old JVC, and most recently a Panasonic RP56. The Pioneer beats the Panasonic in every way, in my opinion of course. CD sound really good to me, but I've never had a 'high' end CD player. DVD-A and SACD are absolutely the best sound reproduction I've ever heard. I think the production/engineering/mastering matter much more than whether it's DVD-A or SACD, they both are REALLY good. I'm in California, I bought the Pioneer from my local Tweeter and they matched $420 from a print out of http://www.soundpros.com. I just checked and it looks like the price has gone up to $435. Still a great deal in my book.

I just did a search for DV-45A on Yahoo and found several places selling it for under $400:

$394

$399

$395

$383

$389

Sayer

Thanks for the info. I may take the plunge this Xmas. All depends on the WAF.

WAF = Wife Acceptance Factor?

Yep thats it. Or in my case:

Way gone, Audio bewitched Female.

It could also mean Wife's Aneurism Factor. Hmm...
