Long time since I visited this place, I'm hoping to get some recommendations on a bluray player.  Makro et al stock Samsung, LG for R1k - R1500, but I'm looking for something a little better, I had in mind a R5k budget.  Is that warranted?  Would a R5k machine be much better than a...

My Denon DCD-3300 need some help.  This is the high end one-box player from about 20 years ago, with balanced outputs etc. I use it as a transport for my Wadia X32, and has represented good value for money in this role. Over the years its tended to have more and more trouble reading discs. ...
