Harman Kardon DVD31 vs. Marantz DV4500

[N. Abstentia]

I think it does matter who you ask..if you ask 100 newbies or non-tweakers then you will probably get a majority of digital connection users. It's easier and cheaper. You'll probably also notice a trend that shows most of these users have less than $100 invested in their DVD player...or God forbid..an all-in-one system.

However, ask 100 'tekkies' or 100 people who own 10 or more SACD's then your results will be different. You'll find more $500 players in this category as well.

Well lets not bring DVD-A and SACD into this. Just your plain old DVD and cd's and tv. Of course multi-channel people will not use the dig. Thats kinda loading the question so it goes one way.
