SACD PLAYERS

I just got off the phone with Ric from EVS. There are TONS of upgrade mods available for ALL of these units. We discussed their design and how the circuit is set-up to a pretty good extent. After talking to him, i would wait just a few more months before buying ANY type or brand of SACD players. There are going to be some MAJOR changes in the chipsets that will be used in the Sony's very shortly. These should be FAR better than the chips being used even in the far more costly SCD-777 and the SCD-1. I've already got my order into him for one of the models that will be due out in appr September. Of course, it will be fully modded : ) Sean

PS... LOSE THE CAPS LOCK BUTTON, WILL YA ????

Sorry for the secrecy folks, but I don't want to go into a lot of detail here for MANY reasons. Drop me an email if you are truly interested. To keep it brief, let's just say that Lorne's wishes aren't that far off. Only difference is that it will NOT have the build quality of the SCD-1 (or anywhere near the price) but should be capable of even better sonics. This is especially true when the unit is "properly" modded. Sean

While i can understand Sluggo's take on the situation, look at it this way: If your "way of life" depended on modifying the latest products on the market, wouldn't you seek out a good source so as to stay on top of the situation in your particular field ??? Maybe even look for "inside information" to try and stay one step ahead of the competition ??? I'm sure that EVERYONE has "contacts" in different areas of expertise, so why should the audio field be any different ? It's not.

As to contacting Ric, he will post info on his website. He is extremely busy trying to keep up with his workload and is NOT timely in response to emails. Your best bet is to be patient and check his website occasionally. For the record, EVS stands for Electronic Visionary Systems and his website is www.tweakaudio.com Sean
