I am not quite sure which players you have been looking at or
what DVD's.The Cals are pretty good! I owned a CL-20 and moded the audio
section, which made it pretty competitive with the most expensive
cd sepereates out there if not better than most.I got sick and tired of the reliability issues and after discussing
improvements in technology of IC chips, from a friend who did
the mods and keeps up on this stuff, I decided to buy a Marantz
DVD 18 THX model. Half the retail price and I got a sweet deal
on a Refurb. Did a few basic mods myself based on his suggestions.Picture on it dusts the Cal, it is not even close. Sound was as
good stock as the Cal except it was a little closed in and rolled
off. Bass was better and the midrange more even. With about 50.00
in parts etc the thing clobbered my modded Cal which was a good
bit better sonically than the standard CAL. None of these mods
had any effect on the picture, but they weren't intended too.So check out the latest top o the line Pioneers and Marantz DVD's
the Toshiba's are also pretty good.Happy watching,
James W.
