With all due respect to Scott, I disagree with his recommendation for the
V6. I don't have that particular model, but I have the 7506 and the V600,
close relatives. And because I'm a trained engineer, I know that it's
scientifically likely that the V6's are going to sound exactly the same as
anything else made by Sony.  So even though I don't own them, and have never
used them, you should value my esteemed advice far more than some "working"
sound engineer who's offered up his "untrained" opinion.  I'm an engineer!

I don't think the 580 is available anymore, but if it is, it's a
bargain. The subsequent models are, unfortunately, not as cheap. You may run
up against a price wall in your quest. You wouldn't have such a problem if
you had a rich daddy like me who buys any kind of crap I tell him to buy.
He's old, and you can really push these old people around.
