We are renovating our house, and the living room is almost done.

I bought a Pioneer turntable:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Pioneer-PL-990-Turntable-B...

And we all love it! My 18 year old step son had never seen an LP play before, and he was impressed! I too was impressed with the sound.

This got me thinking about getting a BR player and CD player (I have a HTPC which has our entire music, DVD and BR collection backed up, uncompressed, as it saves space and all of our collections are safe in the attic)

But, I do miss using CD's and DVD's/BR disks, and wonder how they too would look/sound on decent modern equipment.

I am tempted by this Pioneer Bdp450

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B008YUNPHI/ref=...

It states that it can play CD's too.

I was going to get this too:

But am wondering if it would be superfluous if I had the BR/SACD player (Everything is plugged into a Pioneer VSX-920-K AV receiver)

Do you think the Bdp450 would be OK for both types of media?

I'll just go for the BDP 450 then.
