reasonably priced progressive scan dvd/cd player

Buy a JVC 90 or 95. You can get them new for $250 on ebay. The picture is great, dvd audio out is nice and the cd quality is quite good. You can always use the digital out to an external d/a if the cd quality isn't up to your standards-you will have to spend a ton to beat this unit.

I bought the Sony ES. I'm very happy with it. Tom

If you can find one,the EAD theatervisionP is the best I have seen. I have the Sony,Tosh,and EAD. The last time I saw a TVP it was right in your price range. The TVP also won the Golden ear award from TAS(if your into that kind of stuff).
Sony DVP9000ES $700 at tweeter
Toshiba SD9200 $477 DEMO at tweeter
EAD TVP $1750 closeout

I had a JVC XV-SA75GD DVD Audio/Video player. Let me say that the analog audio playback from this player was the worst I've ever owned. The highs were tilted up dramatically. I'm not sure if they meant to do that, if it could have been disabled, etc. Anyway, I took it back. The reason I had it to start with was because my JVC XV-D723GD DVD Audio/Video player was a lemon and could not be repaired. Needless to say, I'm not planning on purchasing any more JVC electronics in my lifetime.
