Me too. Better yet, one that was compact (one box), double balanced with USB and BNC input and a phono pre.

Even though I am lusting for the MR88 and MVP881, if the wallet situation is tightening, have to face up to reality as these are "nice to have" toys and by no means a "must have" for daily survival.

Moreover, what had been good today is STILL good. Can still listen to SACD/CD, play Bluray (via Sumsung $300 player) and DVDs via the MVP871.

Hence if such a situation does arises, I will give the nice toys a miss - painful though the decision is!

Cheers!

A new MCD/MDA combination that plays CD, SACD, and DVD-A would pique my interest. Also, a new music/video server combination capable of 1080P, 7.1 surround, network interface, unlimited hard drive expandability, with a full color VGA touch screen remote, that also includes two channel audio output would be another attention grabber.

Sorry Dan,

Will need to hijack/borrow your idea - as after reading thru once more, I think I have missed the point on what I will STILL buy. Pardon me for my poor understanding of English!

Yes, a NEW MCD/MDA combo capable of all you have written PLUS BD DVD capability!

Oooppps, you caught me there.

I did slept BUT somehow woke up as was not feeling too good. Maybe had too much for a dinner.

Oh, just to share - there is news that a new BD CD format is being shown (per Hans Jorg Maucksch) will replace SACD & DVD-A as the format of the future. 3 recordings are being demonstrated from Stockfisch in Munich's High End Show.

Going back to sleep in another 15 mins.

Cheers!

Alright, I can't wait to replace my collection for the 5th time; or was it 6?

That's one reason blu-ray is not being introduced in my house.

Remember the MC501's you have back then? You were then very happy but now? MC1.2K makes you happier!

Its part of progress and once one is caught in the path, it just drives one along! Maybe you can stand the onslaught, I could not, at least in video, tapes, then LD's, then DVDs and now partial BD's (replacing some, but not all - no money lah).

Music wise, did the same, LP's, then CD's, then buying XRCD's + SACD's + DVD-A (these only 3 pieces) + LPCDs of the same title! For sure, I own 3 Dire Straits Brothers In Arms .... and more .....

Come to think of it, if my wife knows about this, she will knock my nuts off. So, better hide some of my "repeated titles"!
