BoB: I have the 45a now. I got such a great deal on a trade up to the 47ai, that I go get it this very afternoon.

This has more meaning if you know me, but the 45a has been one of the most complaint-free pieces of gear I've had in a long time. Sound and video quality is excellent. It has all the features I would expect (for the very modest price). SACD and DVD-A quality are "good enough". But what I mean by that is, still ain't lp... (But better than CD.)
