DanThe specs on the 750 states it has "PlayXchange" which allows the turntable to move while the drawer is open. My 10 year old Yamaha CD changer has the PlayXchange feature and it works great. I can swap out four CDs while the fifth CD is still playing. I think Yamaha is the best at this.
However, I am concerned about 15-20 second delay in disk changing. I often put 5 CDs in and hit the random feature to play all disks to get 3-4 hours of shuffled music. There is very little if any delay with my CD ...
Last night I had no problems with the 5750 resetting itself. All my chosen defaults were in tact. It does have a rather irritating remote and the player is short of features one would expect, such as programming CD play.
For $500, no one can beat yet the Onkyo DV-SP502 DVD Player. And you can get it for $300 or under.
I feel the urge to get a new DVD player. I just tried a Panasonic 29S ($69.95) and was shocked at how very, very close to my four year old $500.00 CD player it came. I think I could match the sound for $2-300.00. I lean towards Denon, Yamaha, Onkyo--any better ideas?
Right now I'm trying the Yamaha 5750 (mass merchandiser model number) and really impressed with the picture quality. It has selectable upsampling and really sounds great on 4X when playing CD's. The problem is that I forgot the Yamaha sound: very refined, detailed, but lacking in PRAT! Whereas, my Newcastle CD player would have me toe-tapping and head-bobbing, the Yammie lays me back and washes over me with tone and detail. This may not cut it. I like to feel the music. I'll give it a good run in before hitting the returns counter.Any suggestions for machines PRAT?
I would consider SN but for the cosmetics. I'm not ready for silver, titanium, or gunmetal. I'm still into basic black.How does the 903 sound to the 860?PRAT = pace, rythm, and timing. that which makes you jump and dance.
