Best DVD/CD Player to buy

I am looking to upgrade my cd transport. I also watch movies through my system with a stereo VCR. I'm thinking of buying a DVD player for movies, but want a decent cd playback. Can I get both in one? Any recommendations? I'm looking for something under 1500 if possible.

Thanks, Jeff

The Panasonic DVD H 1000 is being upgraded to the 2000 with DVD Audio added - it retails for 2495 but the 1000 is being sold out for 799 via J and R Music World and Sound City. It gives you a great picture and is really solid at amost 40 pounds. As a transport or regular Cd player check the reviews on it and all others at audioreview.com. The new 2000 is available on line for 1599 at PC Mall if you want the upgrade DVD Audio.

My Sony 9000ES is superb, if not the last word in Hi-Fi, it is competetive with any $2000 CD player, and the SACD kicks any CD's butt, Progressive scan video ain't too shabby either. Also built like a tank.

Without even hearing one, I'd say that the Camelot Roundtable would probably do the trick (it uses JFet's)

Arcam DV-88 is right in your price range.

Sony DVPs-9000ES gets my vote, smokes most anything in the price range and is so versatile. Very upgradeable too, I am working on a serious upgrade to mine about another 1500 into it but then it will do everything I need it to do. Also as mentioned you get a SACD player which is handy.
