Smoothing the Sibilants 2.0:

Good day all, hope that the Audio Gods and Goddesses are smiling upon you. A while back I started a thread about smoothingthe sibilants on a mid-fi system, and here's the followup. Long story short, there's a new digital source living in my house, the Sony SACD '333ES, and I've had the sibilants on the run ever since. We've been playing this player for about 8 hours a day for the last 3 weeks, and it's getting smoother and richer all the time. SACD's are another kettle of fish, of course, but as far as listening to "redbook" CD's, things are MUCH smoother and now sounding richer, too. One of the best features of this player is the selection of adjustable filters that come with the unit, and I'm very happy to report that overall, my humble hifi has taken a s-m-o-o-t-h step forward. Thanks to everyone that responded to Sibilants 1.0, and I'd love to hear some ideas for giant-killer interconnects (the "low-end" Cardas are on duty right now, I still haven't heard anything beter than Silver Audio but I'm open to new product). Thanks for reading, and happy listening.
