  rico,

  I bought a 3960 to be the CD player in my office, replacing a late 80's Technics. The Toshiba was so good after the Technics, it was a a revelation how far digital has come in 20 years.
  
  The 3960 sound was so good, I bought a second to use as a DVD player. Amazon is selling them for $50.

  Cheers,

  Bambi B

    Yes, I got mine at Amazon and it took just three days to get here.

  This player was among the top rated for DVD video quality in the Shootout at hometheaterhifi.com. In avsforum, however, there was a major discussion about the fact that Toshiba changed video chipsets (to the Zoran Vaddis 6, I believe) for 3960 models manufactured after June 2004. The progressive video performance of models using this chip was deemed much more inferior than pre-June04 models. The player reviewed in the Shootout was a pre-June04 model. Keep it in mind if you are using the DVD player to perform deinterlacing duties.

  Nothing was mentioned about its audio performance, so it is entirely possible that the audio chipsets remained the same. In any case, good to know the CD performance is good.
