CD Players With Balanced Variable Outputs?
FP,I'm guessing that he needs balanced outputs that have a variable volume control. TIC 
Point me in the right direction
Pabelson gives some good advice. First, you/we need to know the intended purpose of the system. Are you going to listen to music only, or is it going to be a Home Theater system? What formats does it need to play, ie CD, DVD, radio, TV, LP, etc.?W...

James,Will your system be for multiple sources, like CD, Phono, tuner, DVD player, etc., or will it be for playing only a single source (like CD)?Does your $1000 budget include source components too?TIC

Looking for budget reciever for second system.
Guys, you're talking about 2-channel receivers and the OP is talking about a HT receiver (mentions rears and a future center channel). Not to say that a 2-channel receiver won't sound a lot better than a comparably priced multi-channel unit, but, ...

Tivoli Radio???
I have a tivoli PAL and think it is great. It is the portable battery powered version of the Tivoli radio. Although it only has a single speaker, you can use it as a seperate tuner in a stereo system as the mini-output is stereo. The tuner is much...
