the 7000 has dual pickups. As such, that's two factual mistakes. Given this, why would anyone trust your subjective opinion?
I didn't say that the 7000 does NOT have dual pickups, I just said that the 7700 DOES.
Have I done something to offend you?
I own the 7700, not the 7000. Why is it that I am being attacked? I apologize if I have provided incorrect information. I may not know everything about the 7000 and I don't care to, but I DO know what I hear and what I see when I have been able to compare these two units side-by-side.
Please cease and desist with these assaults on my subjective opinions. The actual hardware issues are one thing, but my opinions on subjective performance parameters can not be called into play.
Jumping off this silly bandwagon and onto another...I've not seen the 7700 but I did own a 500 (which broke, believe it or not) and upgraded to a 7000. It performed much, much better on video than the 500 which was going for $400 at that time. I suspect it's close to the 530 model that's being sold now.
I would say that the 7000 is probably worth $550 if for no other reason than the really incredible picture and the fact that it's nicely built and will probably last a while. It does a decent job as a CD player too, better than my old HK 8540 in any event (which also cost $400) although it is no match for Meridian to be sure.
Right now I'm using the 7000 as a transport feeding into a Lexicon DC-1 which is my compromise to having two completely different systems for HT and audio. I'd say it does a pretty good job as a transport but I will also admit that I don't have any other transports around for comparison; nor do I know if the DAC on the Lexicon is good enough to point out the differences if there are any.
In any event, I'm very happy with the 7000 as a DVD player alone and would recommend it to anyone for $550.
