I'll tell you about some really great affordable spk. wire which I'm using right now. I had to order it from England but the cost of shipping was reasonable and the wire is really, really good. Atlas Equator mk2. Very pure copper 6N and roughly 14ga. 5 pounds a meter bare wire. Bested the Kimber 8VS which I was using previously. You will be surprised how good this spk. wire is. As far as IC's, I'd really like to try their IC's, but I'm pretty satisfied w/my current stash and money is alittle tight @ the moment. Do check out the Atlas cables. Regards, Bill.
A Novices Impression of the Sony DVP-S9000ES
I have been using a Rotel RCD-855 as my main CD Player in my stereo setup for about 11 months and just recently switched over to the newer (to me) and more technologically advanced Sony DVP-S9000ES SACD/DVD player. I'm a bit surprised by the different sound characteristics, but I'm really enjoying its detail so far.
My novice write-up about the comparison is here if you're interested: http://thesoundapprentice.blogspot.com/2013/10/cd-player-shootout-rotel-rcd-855-vs.html
Anyway, I came across some very old threads about people modifying the capacitors, RCA outputs and even going to greater lengths to convert them to tube outputs. Just wondering if anyone here has used either of these units and done any modifications to them, big or small, and if so, what do you think of the results. Are there any easy tweaks to do that can make these players sound even better?
Thanks for your thoughts.
