"if you listen to cds, you are stuck with masking the harshness and abiding the lack of detail, but......WHY? ok, one more time...this 950 sounds GOOD. feed in good and hear good come through it. pitch the cds where they belong."

bossobass - you and I must have the same ears/definitly same idea of what the 950 is doing. Garbage in = garbage out.

Now I need your opinion on what SACD or DVD A player to get. The combo ones have not gotton great press (Pioneer), maybe the inexpensive Sony is the way to go. Thoughts here?
