SACD - Pioneer Elite any good? Cambridge Audio?
The AIR studios enhancement is standard on the Elite DV-79 and I believe it is also standard on the newer DV-58. I really can't say if it works because I've never heard it without it. But mine sounds as good on SACD as my Denon 5910CI. The Oppo so...

The Pioneer Elite DV-79 is a good player. It has the AIR studios enhancement. You may find an Oppo BDP-83 used for around that price. It's a very good player and both it and the Pioneer will also have the added benefit of DVD Audio. The Oppo will ...

DVD picture too small using component cable

DVD picture too small using component cable

dual volume controls?
In a world where the sound of cables and power cords are considered different it's odd how folks can't hear the ill effects balance controls have on sound Rrog. It would seem much easier to shift one's seating slightly.

I agree with LP. Do a true blind test and let us know if you can hear a difference. Remember you can't know which is connected.
