One difference I noticed with regards to the Dolby Digital vs. DTS track....Alison does allot of talking between some songs; this dialog, which can barely be heard on the DTS version, can be heard and understood on the Dolby Digital version. JIm

This concert is playing on the country music network tomorrow. I saw it yesterday on a different station. Before I even finished watching the concert, I place my order for the DVD. I agree, Alison Krauss has the voice of an angel. Jim

I bought the Yamaha C920. I paid $350 from a local B&M. It has the Farjouda chip, and also has an option to turn off the video signal, while listening to audio CD's. I bought this player for it's video capabilities, and have been very pleased. I haven't listened to any audio CD's on the...

I buy it, because I'm still a fan of the Cincinnati Bengals:b. They (the Bengals) stink so much, you hardly ever get to see them play in the Western part of the U.S. I think the highest I've paid (till now) is $129.99. Jim

Is it just me or has the price of NFL Sunday Ticket, been raised substantially? I don't believe I paid over $129.99 last year, this year it's $179.99. Oh well, they did include two pretty good coupons with my mailer...one was for a free PPV movie, the other was for a $179.99 DirecTIVO unit...

I believe you're talking about Sonys first DVD player, right (DVP-7000)? If so, I'd suspect the audio (cd playback) will be much better than that of the RP-82. I would assume the RP-82 to have a much better video picture, but you'd need an HD-TV to take full advantage. I have the DVP-7000 on...

I just bought a new DVD player that has the Burr-Brown DAC's. Using a digital output, am I getting any benefit from the Burr-Brown DAC's? Thanks, Jim

I just bought the C920. I bought it at a local BM store for $349.00. I like the player except for the fact that you can't change the brightness, contrast, sharpness, or color controls (on the player) if your using the player in progressive scan mode. Jim

Thanks!

Since I can't find any user information on this player, I'm assuming it's new. Does anyone know if this player includes/ uses the Farjouda video chip? Thanks, Jim

Just picked up a copy of EBYT SACD at Bestbuy. The SACD was $15.99 and the DVD-A version was $24.99. Are DVD-A discs generally more expensive than SACD? Jim

DonaldZ: To me, the Sony felt more sturdy than the Panasonic. Go to Circuit City and play with both! Jim

I bought the Sony '715. I also tried the Panasonic '62 but didn't like the cheap remote;however, the Panasonic did seem to have a clearer picture than the Sony. Jim

I originally got into the pre-pro game because I was tired of buying recievers. It seems as though I'm still buying because my B&K wasn't really upgradable (at least not to the level of a new model). I do wonder if there are any pre-pro's out there that are truely upgradable to have the same...

I bought my B&K Reference 10 in December of 1997. Last January I upgraded the unit to a Reference 20+ (at a cost of ~$1000). Keep in mind, the Reference 20+ does not have all the features (like THX processing, component switching, etc.) that the Reference 30 does. I'm considering buying a new...
