Muse model 9 sig CD player how good?

Amp broken?
Sorry for not posting this earlier!It turned out to be the set of small tubes on my amp!I'm not sure if they are input tubes? or what they are called...anyway, I took the amp to the dealer, they gave me a full diagnostic eval on the amp and preamp... 
Ultimate DVD player...
Alun,I've tried the home theater pc, perhaps I'm doing something wrong, I am running a ATI 9500 and my 150$ progressive scan pioneer dvd player destroys the picture quality when fed into my projector.How do you adjust the dvd scale up to 720p?

speaker-amp recommendation

price points vs. room treatment
is it reasonable to say that no matter how wonderful a pair of speakers might sound in the store there is a very likely possibility that these same speakers will not sound as good in your untreated living room? --of course...but dont kid yourself,... 
Amp broken?
Thanks, I've already turned just the amp on and the problem is still there.I tried swapping out 4 of my big tubes (KT88's) and the problem didn't change sides.But I didn't try swapping sides on the 6 smaller tubes yet.I'll try that when I get home. 
Amp broken?
nope, not a cj, I've checked all fuses.Swapped the tube also, no impact.I'm gonna send it in to the company later this week 
Amp broken?

Best integrated under $1500 with Phono
I'd say the sim i5 and yba integre dt are on par in the 1100$ range.for $1700ish you can get a Plinius 8200 mkIIif your new to home audio I'd stick with solid states...if you can find one I've heard great things about Electrocompaniet ECI3's
