mdrconsult,

That was an excellent conclusion. You probably know that at Outlaw we have the highest regard for Oppo:

-Their products are terrific.

-Many of our customers (including Gonk) own an Oppo player.

Those who visit this forum know that both Gonk and I are Beta testing their new Blu-Ray player. I now have enough experience to know that when this player is released, I will choose it for my system and recommend it to all of my friends and colleagues.

So your guess makes a lot of sense----EXCEPT that is not what we will be announcing. Wait.

Happy New Year

Peter
