Denon 100 - The Legacy of Firsts

all kinds of good looking stuff for their 100th anniversary. the CD/SACD player looks super fine. digital inputs and everything, $2500 though. and I've seen pictures of that turntable before, looks awesome. don't know how it will all sound, but it looks just great.

edit: pretty much everything in the 100th anniversary series costs $2500 on crutchfield, including the TT. the cart is $500. cans $500.

I think the price point for the cans is odd.

The cans don't look full sized. They look more like a gussied up AH-D1001. I'm guessing they wanted to keep them small enough for portable use, to reach the largest audience.

Edit: It does say over ear, so I guess I'm off base.

Second Edit: Looks like a gussied up AH-D510R. I hope wood isn't the only upgrade at a $500.00 price increase...

Ive only heard the bottom of the line denons, but they seems pretty average to me... I wonder how they upper models compare.

It looks like an AH-D1100 that supposedly has aluminium housing and 50 mm drivers (angled) but with the wooden cups. The 510R uses smaller drivers.

i bet the cd player is pretty nice.

with the digital inputs might not be a bad get down the road on the used market.
