yea....
how much did you put into the Panasonic?
can you say...'snake oil?

Snake oil my ass   Let your ears be the judge.  The panny was already extremely well built, and by putting that dough into it is turned into a world class 5 channel amp.  The toshiba is plastic in comparision, so that's why I wouldn't do the mods if I couldn't have pulled them off for 100 bucks or so.  I did want to post this link for you guys....

It really is this easy, and turns the player into a giant killer.  It's still got the platic chassis though, hence my comments about sinking all the coin into it.

for the money and cost of what you have, you dont' think you could have bettered it in the used market?
shit, even a Sony 9000es would have been in that range.  but there would be a lot you could have done.

i'm sure it sounds wonderful.
enjoy

I honestly do not think so.  Once I was able to actually a/b the two, the sound wasn't even remotely similar.  I will be happy to let you listen to it nick.  I will try to remember to send it to you next time I am out of town for an extended period.

I have to say, I don't know about that model, but... the Toshiba SD-4900 is AWESOME. It's been discontinued though, probably because it does PAL>NTSC and can easily be all region hacked. It's played everything I have EVER tried on it, including dual layer DVD+R DL. Also, the quality is VERY great, Just a totally amazing player.
