| You could get Suntory draft from a vending machine for 300 yen, that's a
little more than $2.
The dollar traded at around 240 yen just 3 years ago; since then, prices of
EVERYTHING have doubled!

| 1050.5 | Denon-1520 | ULTRA::SIMON | The exquisite corpse will drink the new wine. | Thu Dec 01 1988 07:14 | 13 |
| I'm thinking of getting a Denon-1520 (Christmas gift from me to
me!) The latest Stereo Review (yeah, I know - middle brow hi-fi,
but I love those Rodriguez cartoons) has a comparison among five
high end CD players, and the Denon came out as one of the best.
The technical specification are certainly impressive: 8x-oversampling,
3 beam laser, etc.
Anyone have one of these or know more about them? I've searched
for info on this specific player here but haven't found any.
Thanks,

| I have a yamaha cdx910 and it seems to play well, I've heard
that the cdx1100 is well rated, and priced around a grand, but
that just under twice what i paid for 910.
big bucks

RE: -.1 (Dave)
The list price of the Denon-1520 is $750, which strikes me as very
reasonable for a high end player. That's one reason I'm considering
it. (Presumably I can get it for significantly less than that if
a shop around.)

| Well, I picked up a DCD-1520 over the weekend and I love it. The
contrast in sound between it and my older player (a Sony Discman)
is astonishing.
