I have over 1,000 CD's burned to an external hard drive, which I run with an apple i-book and i-tunes. I plug that into my processor and I have access to the entire catalogue. I don't usethis for critical listening, but it is great for parties. Yo...

Best SACD for under $1200
Don't mean to beat the drum for my suggestion, but I don't recommend a Sony SACD/DVD. I suggest getting the Sony SCD XA777ES and combining it with something like a used Denon DVD-1600, or a new Denon DVD-1200, which are excellent DVD players and a...
