I got my Vacuum State Level 5+ modified Sony SCD-1 out of storage recently. On SACD's I think it is a real gem. I thought the SACD player was excellent 20 years ago but even today it is really good. It maybe the mods.
Considering a new SACD Player
I’m planning to purchase a new SACD player. Have listened to MCIntosh MCD550, and have yet to audition Yamaha CD-S2100, or CD-S3000. I have a Marantz SA-14S1 that will move to a secondary system. I plan to use balanced cables to connect to McIntosh C-50 preamp. Any thoughts??

@jafant I did hear a very good Luxman CD/SACD player last month with Luxman m900u/c900u and TAD ME1 speakers. I think we only did the CD section in the demo via ROON (no physical disks). It was so good that I was thinking I should just buy this whole Luxman system and be done with. I am trying to replicate that sound with different lower cost parts, including keeping my Sony SCD-1. http://www.luxman.com/product/detail.php?id=15 |
