Well, the battle continues, I have to thank everyone for there help with my CP-65 questions,
I now have a question concerning upgrading the projectors sound readers. This is a independent single screen theater running a two projector rig (carbon arcs). The owner wants to spend as little money as possible. (I have had to build an entirely new sound system as the original was over 50 years old, so he is still getting over the initial sticker shock.) I have suggested The CE STR-30. The RSTR-2000 is cheaper and the owner wants to go this route. My question is,,,is there any reason to go for the CE over the RSTR? (BTW, the owner would'nt know a RSTR led reader if one fell on his head, he is just looking at the bottom line.)
FYI the projector is a simplex with a SH1000. Keep in mind that digital is still out of reach for the current budget, but considering that we are upgrading from a single speaker mono setup, this should be a positive improvement.
thank your for the excellent advise

Dave, thanks for the advise,
Yes,,, the theater owner is in a bit of a conundrum over the whole "digital projector" issue. He dose not want to invest much into the current system out of fear of having to dump it all for a digital projector..for example decent or upgradable readers...In my opinion the owners have waited way to long to upgrade from what they have now. It is a 80 mile round trip to the nearest first run cinema, and people are doing just that because of the short comings of the sound system, old school seating etc. I dont know how long cinemas have been in "stereo" (let alone digital surround and the like) but as far as i can remember, I have never seen a film in mono, that is to say, before I saw a film here. It is the owners idea that buying the cheaper non-upgradeable reader is the answer, with the plan of going with a digital projector when the issue is finally forced. (he is assuming that there will be nothing in the current system that can be reused when this happens,,,less speakers and amps) I say make it as good as possible now with used equipment and get the locals back,,,,and pray 35mm stays around for a few more years. The theater itself is great, very old school home town type,,,
thanks again.
