..............well, it's actually a dvd player (Arcam FMJ DV27A). I cannot wait to hear it in action. I think it will compliment my CA 840A really well. I've been looking at getting a second hand, oldish, high endish dvd player for a while. I think they offer amazing value for money. Audiophiles don't seem to touch dvd players as such. Home cinema fans don't seem to want to know a dvd player without hdmi, hence these players are going cheap. I've read quite a few reviews from around 2004 and they all say that the 27A is as good as a lot of £1000 cd players - now I'm assuming that cd players haven't improved that much in four years. I paid just under £300 for it (original rrp circa £2000) and I have Denon DVD1940 and DCD700AE to sell and make some of the difference - oh and an hdmi cable that I won't need now as well! I will post my findings......
