I'm using Sony SCD555ES and wanna upgrade to a better one. For the range of USD10000, any good SACD player can do well at red book, which close to the grade of Wadia 861, Mark 390s, or Metronome T1-i Signature?
Attendees to HFS in SF: comments related to this thread? Those of us unable to attend would be interested in any SACD/CD equipment you heard that you found impressive. Thanks for your response.
I have prepaid for a DCC2 and it should be in by the end of June- mid July. I have been waiting for 3 months already, good thing for me patience is a virtue :)
I don't think it looks too "pro" but I believe they have changed faceplates to make it look more "home" audio. I know many like look of highend manufacturers--almost all of it, to me, looks ugly, no matter how much brushed steel, etc. there is.
I must be the Lone Ranger and totally crazy here (no comment please Tim), but I actually LIKE my BUTT ugly Switchman. That darn thang is so homely it is cute, kinda like a bulldog!!! But let me tell ya, when you hear what the Meitner stuff SOUNDS like, if you really love music, it is kinda like the difference in opinion you have of the unattractive woman after having 8 beers!
yeah, I'd have to say the Switchman et. al. don't make a pretense of looking good the way most equipment does. I prefer the echt look of the Meitner gear.
Jtinn, in your first post you mentioned that you are the distributor for EMM Labs. If so how many dealers do you have? From what I have heard you are selling direct. I always see what your circle of friends have to say and It would be interesting to hear from other High End dealers who sell top shelf digital gear what they think of the Meitner stuff.
