looking for a better DVD player

Hello All,

I tried this thread on the HT heading under a different title and got no response. Lets see if the digital heading will do better.

I'm considering replacing my Pioneer Elite DVC-36 DVD player and these machines have caught my attention. The Ayre D-1, Arcam FMJ DV-27 and the Camelot Technology Round Table. Anyone out there w/personal experience and or opinions, I would love to hear from you. I already have a music only cdp, the Metronome CD2v Signiture, so the most important thing is the best video and surround sound performance. If you know of any other player(s) I should add to this list, I would like to hear from you as well. My TV is a Mitsubishi 46809 HD ready RPTV. Any info would really be appreciated. Thanks in advance......John

Another player that you should have in your "short" list would be the Simaudio Stellar. The other players you listed are also very good, especially the EAD.

What's up folks,

Flemke, I understand that some Sony products are highly regarded and all, but my point was the mid-fi stigma that Sony and Pioneer share. I would not feel comfortable having a Sony heading up my system no matter how good it's supposed to sound and look. Yes, I know. Snob!!!

Fs_audio, what does the Simaudio Stellar cost and are there any reviews I could get a look at. I would be interested in getting as much info on it as possible for comparison purposes.

Thanks for the info people, keep'um coming.....John

I also own the EAD TheatervisionP which is quite a player. The EAD also won the Best CD player from TAS for 2000. The image is 3D looking on my Mits65907.
