Can anyone recommend a sub-£1000 player to pair with a Panasonic PW7 plasma? Connections on the Plasma are Component and HDMI - however the latter is supposedly quite poor so I'm looking for a model which a strong performer on component output (with HDMI as a nice to have):
- Denon 3910
- Arcam DV79
Features such as CD playback, DVD-Audio and SACD are largely irrelevant as the unit will be used for DVD playback 99.5% of the time. I'm leaning towards the Denon as that was the machine I used as my source prior to selecting the PW7.
Any other DVD players that should be on my trials shortlist? I've ruled out the Denon A1 as the plasma is only standard def and effectively a budget model so there would be little benefit from such a high end player. And I've ruled out the Pioneer 868 due to weak component performance. Anything else promising on the immediate horizon?
And finally can anyone recommend stockists which sell the Arcam range?
