    • Marantz dv-7600
    The DV-7600 plays CD, SACD, DVD-Audio and DVD-Video. This player is the best-sounding universal disc player for under a grand. Whether you listen to 2 channel stereo or Multi-Channel Surround Sound, the DV-7600 has you covered.

This player is an excellent CD player and SACD and DVD-A playback are icing on the cake
    • Cayin a-88t
    ...What struck me right away was the Cayin's immediacy - a lifelike quality that was nearly like the sound of a single-ended-triode (SET) amp. (The Mac MC-275 is like that, too)...There was another similarity between the A-88T and the MC-275: ballsy bass. The Cayin's bass was exceptionally well controlled and extended for a tube amp. When a tube amp gets bass right, it gets it very right - ripe, rich, full-bodied. The Cayin did. I do like tight bottom ends...This amp was silent. There was very little background noise, either - a bugaboo with some tube amps (and solid-state models, too). For $1889-$1995, the Cayin A-88T's price, design, build quality, and sound are exemplary...it looks beautiful, and it looks beautifully built.
