Hi guys,
I work with a man that told me about you guys. Nice place!
Listen- My sweetie has a great system, groovy record player and
looooots of vinyl. The thing is we don't have a DVD and I'd really
like to give him one for his birthday next week. He'll be 39 ;-)
Whatsa good one for a picky audiophile?
Betti

If he's only going for music DVDs then fine, but if he's into video at all go for a DVD recorder. I got one last birthday and have since retired my VCR.

Thanks sweetie.

I got mine through HSN (Home Shoppimg Network); the brand is CyberHome, a generic Chinese brand, which is of little consequence since all this stuff comes out of China anyway. My impetus was the price- I got it for $239; mainstream brands like Panasonic run at least a hundred more. The thing works like a charm- DVD playback is flawless, and the recording quality puts a VCR to shame, you cannot tell the difference from the original source.

If I'm in your shoes, I'll give him a durable and reliable DVD Player that's made from Japan like AKIRA. It's a long lasting player. You'll never regret.

HellI think anything outside of a vcr puts a vcr to shame. That is way past out dated.

Best Buy has a nice selection of DVD and DVD recorders. I would shop around though because you could be dead set on an item and you may be able to find it at a different store for cheaper.
