I’m sure there are lots of good choices these days for a "...decent sounding, picture Blu-ray player." Since your budget seems to be around $1K, I have another suggestion. The Pioneer BDP-09 BluRay player was introduced several years ago at $2200....

Johnny Ray- "Greatest Songs" Really like this CD. Thanks Goodwill store! 
Good headphone amplifier
I have Audeze LCD-XC headphones. I drive them with a couple of DACs, but the one I like the best is my Benchmark DAC1. You can find newer versions of the Benchmark (DAC2, retails for $2K) pre-owned for around $1K. You'll need to look hard to find ...

Simple solution: If you don't like it here, go somewhere else. Or, you can just stay here and insult this forum and everyone on it. You decide! 
What's In Your Tape Cassette Deck Tonight?
Willy Hermann has gone through each of my three Nakamichi cassette decks: ZX-9; RX-505; CR-7A. As you would expect, they all have sounded amazing after being serviced by Willy. About five years ago, I bought a Nak Dragon from Willy. He called me a... 
Sub-$1250 DAC w/ built-in Headphone Amp
Lots of choices here of DACs, so here’s mine. I have Benchmark DAC1 that I have had for many years. It sounds great and can be used as a preamp. The Benchmark DAC1 MSRP was $995, but can now be found for $500 or less. With your budget, you could p...

A Word About SkyFi audio Customer Service
audiojerry,I’m happy that you had a good experience with your purchase from SkyFi. You found the item that you wanted, paid their asking price, and they sold it to you. It’s hard to argue with that. What bothers some on this forum about SkyFi is t... 
A Word About SkyFi audio Customer Service
stereo5,"I got a very nasty reply from the owner saying next time he lists something, he will ask me if it is ok first..." You have to admit, that’s very funny! I have sent them many complaints about their prices. I’ve told them that they seem to ...
