Philips SACD 1000 or 962.
I too am considering one of these units and would be interested in any and all comments as well...I have read great reviews on the 1000 and some have indicated that the 962 will be every bit as good for less...I am still waiting to hear confirmati... 
Vandersteen Mod 5 vs Coincident Tech Total Eclipse
I should like to add a bit of information to the above comments. While each has their own strengths and weaknesses, I would agree with the above choice. There are two important reasons I'd choose the Vandie's: 1) As stated above, they will do a fi...
