DVD/CD/SACD player advice needed

I personally like the Sony DVP-999ES better than just about anything I auditioned. An absolutely beautiful picture, excellent redbook CD performance, and SACD as good as just about any stand alone unit I've heard. It's also well built and comes with the three year warranty. I think Sony does the SACD thing as well as anyone, and picture reproduced by this deck is well documented. It's been out for about a year now so the price has probably come down a bit, but I paid $850 for mine a few months back.

Can't recommend a dvd player, but was wondering how you like the Panny plasma? I've been eyeing that same model Panny for quite some time now and would like to hear your opinion on it....thanks.

Bradz, I like Panasonic very much so far. It's amazing with DVD (BTW I bought Philips 963 SA),Very good with cable digital channes, not so good with the analog ones (you know their quality is crap), and again it's very, very good with HDTV channels, even though it's only EDTV display.
Jack dotson, I agree with you on Sony DVP-999ES. I have it in my second (rather first) system, working with Bryston SP-1.7, Anthem MCA 50 and Paradigm Studio Reference 100 v.3, 20 v.3 and CC 470 v.3. Regards.

look at/listen to the denon 2900 on your search as well

Could you tell me how well your Ageis sounds with SACD music. I listen to music more than movies. I had been looking at a Paradigm PDR 12". Any response would be appreciated. - greg
