Both sound pretty amazing for such old equipment, and look gorgeous.
Thinking about selling one and putting one in the system.
Dawgfish has loaned me a Denon 2900 that plays sacd, if i ever get any of those, i will use that function, but its gonna be awhile before i can afford much in that format, so for foreseeable future these units being only able to play cd, and dvd is fine.
Right now listening to paul simons "So beautiful or so what cd", is really pretty impressive, not even taking into account its a 26 year old unit.

BTW, the original gear I have been passing along here, (Infinity RSIIs, RSIIIbs, Klipsch, etc., came from their horse ranch.
Well she passed her late husbands atlanta home equipment to my sister to pass to me to see if it is worth selling or donating.
Along with the adcom and pio gear from before, look at the speaks that are now in my home, possibly for good, possibly for sale, depending if i can come to an agreement with her.
By the way, with depeche mode playing thru the adcom pre, the anthem amp, and the pio elite dv 09, it sounds amazing, especially considering how old this gear is other than the 703s.humpty dumpty was pushed -
I'd get rid of the CLD99. I just do not see you buying laser disc's either. IIRC that DV-09 had stellar reviews I'd keep it as back up to play DVD-CD at the very least.

Ok so 20 bucks for a 2000 dollar disc player that has seen very little use it is, these older elites are substantial, pretty and damn near silent when opening and closing.
BTW, she has some laserdiscs, not sure what they are, im sure the video is nowhere near up to snuff, but if some are concert vids, i might splurge and offer her another 20 for it.humpty dumpty was pushed -
Scott, you'd be surprised how good some of those laserdisc movies look.

if you find a "stable Platter" Pioneer them suckers seem to sell for more now than new. Many others used the mechanism in their players as they were very well regarded. I've had my eyes peeled for a few years now trying to nail one down but just can't bring myself to spend that kind of money an such an old player. -

Scotty.. I still pull out my Pioneer laserdisc players.. yes I have 2.. no I wont part with either

The audio sounds VERY good, and honestly the picture is on par or BETTER than most DVDs IMHO...
