Well Tim, as everyone here probablly knows by now I am a Yamaha fan. the best word I have found to describe the CR-n20 series is Transparent - what ever you put in comes out unaltered. I am currently using a CR-820 to drive a pair of Polk Monitors and they seem to like each other. They go for less than they are worth on eBay because everyone there seems to have been brain-washed by Marantz - I have restored both and kept the Yamahas and auctioned the Marantz.As to CD players, due to lack of space, and because the Mitsu was beginning to act up, I wanted a combo DVD/CD. Research seemed to point at Sony until I found that the unit I was looking at was a re-badged Samsung so I bought the Samsung. Unless my ears are failing with age (I'll admit that I never hear the horizontal on the TV on damp days) it sounds, or rather it does not sound, it just passes the CD content through untouched. Like a previous inmate I also put my vinyl collection onto CD, just no room for the Rega in the cabinet.
