Best Standard Def DVD Player under $8,000 used?
Bullot,Keep living the dream.....I may be the only person who actually DID answer the original posters question, having owned every player he queried on except the Krell, and never even received any feedback from him!You are sorely mistaken in you... 
Best Receivers, dvd players, for system-
When it comes to receivers, I find Marantz to sound the best. See if you can listen to the new 6004, it's really nice and reasonably priced and you already know you like the Marantz sound. I wouldn't buy a DVD player nowadays, buy Blu or go home, ... 
Temporary Proceed replacement
I have the new SR6004, the big change is the addition of the RX101 Bluetooth receiver, which is super cool for streaming audio from your computer or iPohne/Crackberry and does sound good, not to the level of the AVP. You will have trouble finding ... 
Help with iTunes library failure after SnowLeopard
Are all three computers running the same version of iTunes and do they all have all the newest updates for snow leopard?I just did snow leopard on all my machines and don't have any problems, check to see you have the same version of iTunes and sn... 
Scotch? No thanks. Whats the best Vodka.?
Several years ago when all the currently trendy 'boutique' vodkas came around a friend who managed a restaurant poured every vodka he had on ice and six of us tasted them all blindly. 5/6 chose Kettle one, with the beer drinker choosing Smirnoff. ... 
EMM Labs new XSD1 single box player
Why would you pay more for the single box version? the TSD1/DAC2 retails for $20,500. I checked their website and no news of the new unit but that doesn't mean much.... 
Denon DVD 2500 btci
I have had one for some time, nice build quality, not the fastest Blu-ray disc loading but tolerable.It is only a transport, so will only output bitstream for the new uncompressed codecs (DTS HD MA Dolby TrueHD) but like you said, with any new rec... 
I have 1500 cds
It will take you a long time to rip that many CD's, I have done a collection of 700 discs twice as I initially ripped them in as MP3's, then went back and re-did it in AIFF, both times it took a month or more of spare time, so by my rate, 1,500 wi... 
output to HDMI cable from non-HDMI receiver?
FWIW B&K were just showing an HDMI equipped receiver and pre/pro @ CEDIA. 
My system acts weird
I use an APS PurePower 700 for all my sources and pre/pro. It makes a huge improvement in my system, and living in florida I need help with power! Even dedicated lines vary significantly during peak times of the day and the APS smoothes all that o... 
High End Universal Players ???
You didn't mention a price point, but the Esoterics are very nice, I used a DV-50s for several years and was very happy with it until I went to the new EMM Labs. 
Power conditioner needed????
Baffled,Do you have a dimmer switch in your home? Either in a wall or on a light??? If so, try pulling them out of the circuit and see if that solves the problem, if you have a light with a dimer, just unplug it, if it's in the wall, you may get a... 
Harmony One Remote ?
Agree with MDT, sell the Harmony One on eBay and buy the 890, IR extenders are notoriously problematic, while the RF of the 890 works well. I run two systems with the 890's, which I think are the best remotes Harmony made, I have owned the 1000, a... 
3 three channel system, anyone?
Meridian uses and older system called Trifield to accomplish this, it used to come on Yamaha receivers back in the day too, it works amazingly well, simply making a center of the left and right would be silly in my mind but YMMV.... 
DAC1 Pre or DAC1 USB with Passive?
I had the DAC1 Pre for a while, nice unit, great DAC and an excellent preamp, it does only have ONE analog input though so it is limited in that regard, not sure if they modified that on the DAC1 HDR or not.
