Best Standard DVD Video Quality to be had? What Player is the GRAND POOBAH?

(IE: remember the Flintstones)

Anyway I have a LARGE DVD collection going on 500 DVDs... :)

What is THE BESTEST of all BESTEST DVD Players for Smooth Motion,
"Depth of Field", Color Saturation, and Sharpness?

Two minor must haves:
1) Must be black (Sorry Esoteric comes in silver only)
2) Must be under $8,000

And I don't want to hear OPPO. They Suck in the Audio Section.
No OPPO Martyrs please!! Please spare me..


My Suspects are:

Krell DVD Standard
Linn Unidisk 1.1
Meridian G98
Denon 5910CI

Very odd that I am finding quality of "Motion" to be a huge factor.
Some DVD Players display Motion smoother than others.. I have A-B'ed
players and notice that some players "blur" the motion. (Using same
Display and Same Cables)

((I currently own a Krell DVD Showcase and a Denon DVD-2930CI.
The Krell is sharper with better colors but the Denon has MUCH smoother
motion))


Remember: Black CASE and under $8,000

Thanks!!!!
