Toshiba SD-4000 / SD-K770

63.203.93.6

I just wanted to thank all the forum members for information about the Toshiba DVD players. I recently had my old Denon CD player die in my budget system at work (Nakamichi RE-3 Receiver, Kef Q10 speakers) and was looking for a replacement. I purchased a Denon DVD for $80 on clearance from Magnolia Hi-Fi and it sounded so-so, but then it died after 26 days of ownership (was accepted for return without a problem). Frankly, I was actually kind of happy because the thing was very noisy when playing discs.

I was ready to drop $300 on a NAD or Marantz CD player to get something decent and in the meantime was using this really old phillips portable CD player. I was lamenting that I really might want to replace the KEF's as they didn't sound very good anymore. So I stumbled across the threads on the Toshiba DVD players and low and behold found that my local Costco had the SD-K770 (relabeled 4000) in stock for $39.99.

I can't even describe how much better this player sounds than the Denon, not to mention the Phillips portable. The transport is also silent when playing discs. I would have been happy if the Marantz or NAD CD sounded this good for $300, but for $40 I'm ecstatic. My only gripe about the player is the display stinks, but I can live with that.

I took the $260 I saved and bought a floor model M&K KX-10 sub for $270.
