it looks like there is a difference of opinion regarding the relative performance of the sony and esoteric players. this is another example of the adage: "spend more and you may not get more". you don't always get sonic improvements by spending more money.
Are New Sony SCD XA5400es Players Still Available?
Hello to all,
I am considering purchasing a new Sony SCD XA5400es. I am finding some rather odd information on the Internet and Audiogon. I am seeing Audiogoners saying the player is out of production and I am seeing others selling new players below the normal retail price of $1500. I also found a price on eCost.com that is for just under $900.
Does anyone know if there are “knock-of “ players in the market people may be selling or are the players actually available at these good prices?
Thanks for any feedback.
