| Meitner Meilor CD-D I don't know when the last year of manufacture was but I've seen a few come and go here and over at ebay. | |
| Video transfer ? I don't know if this guy does vidoe tranfers but he seems to take quite a bit of pride in the film to dvd transfers. I printed out and read 30 some odd pages of info on his mom and pop style web site; http://www.film-to-video.com | |
| Audio room dimensions My room is in the basement as well and close to the dimensions you have, 14x20x7. The one thing I really really wish for (in the next house..) is a higher CEILING. While movies sound a-ok, seeing that Hollywood has no clue how to mix a soundtrack,... | |

| Denon DVD Players I have a 2800 that I bought used from eBay 6 months ago for 200$.Pros; very good picture, great blacks, blues, skin tone. Pretty good reds. Great detail.Cons; can't dim or turn off the damned display: it's quite bright... when watching it through ... | |

| Front projection or not? I was leaning more towards a 4:3 native aspect ratio, I notice now that there are some projectors out on the market with dual nativity. | |

| Meridian G08 or Linn Ikemi I've had a Meridian 602 Transport since 1993, coupled with a Meridian 203 DAC until this summer when I sold it and bought a Meridian 606 DAC. I have had the opportunity to listen to a ton of other gear (from cheap-ass Teac to high end Mark Levinso... | |
