Dear all
I'm struggling at the moment. My Panasonic A160 is about dead so I need to replace it soon. I've had my eye on Arcam DV88 for a while but have been putting it off, waiting for DVD-A capability.
I've got a Loewe Acconda TV, so as far as I know the Prog Scan of the DVD88+ will be useless (is this the case?). But I am as I say interested in DVD-A.
A few questions about this, will DV88 be upgradable to DVD-A - I spoke to an Arcam guy at Stuff last month who recommended I went for the DV88+ now rather than DV88. I don't really need the prog scan - so do I really need to - has anything else changed inside?
Also just realised that the DV88+ is selling for £1300 as apposed to DV88 at £999. Add to this an additional £200 for DVD-A upgrade from DV88+, this takes the plus to very close to the FMJ DV27 at £1500.
Also the guy at Stuff said £200 for upgrade from DV88+ to DVD-A, will this be the same for the DV88.
Or finally should I just wait and see what the DV89 will bring?
Thanks a lot
