Lexicon BD-30 universal player


Hi,
I saw an interesting review of the new Lexicon BD-30 universal player and the reviewer mentioned that he bought the oppo se to compare the lexicon to. His verdict is that the lexicon was better built, better picture and much quieter in operation. The msrp is $3500. Has anyone else had the opportunity to compare these? I understand a price difference between the two is significant but was just wondering if it would be worth that difference?
Look forward to opinions and ideas. Thanks.

The RT-20 appears to have a couple of small extra boards in it. Probably mods to the power supply and maybe output stage. Other than that, everything else appears identical - wire colors, chokes, even looks like the copper screws on the inside of the Lexicon. Fool me once, shame on you....Fool me twice,.....
The extra boards are for BNC component output and something else insignificant that I don't remember. The power supply board looks identical, as is the main board with analog output stages.
...and realize now the number of people aware of this scam at this company going home at night to tell their families how creative their jobs are?! Nice spot on your resumes...scammers!
The Lex IS a oppo83...for 2.5 thousand more...it's your money but I suggest save for a rainy day.
