SONY SCD-1 UPGRADE

The SCD-1 is a fabulous Red Book CD player. It is not in need of an "upgrade", IMHO

I heard it in a very high resolution system, a/b compared to the DCS upsampling 192 DAC. It wasn't as good, but oh so close. They were both some of the best CD playback I have heard. Very limited returns upgrading that CD player.

PLEASE E MAIL WHITE PAPERS, PRICES TO UPGRADE. ALSO ON A 1 TO 10 SCALE HOW MUCH WILL IT IMPROVED?

THANKS

Hi all. I performed the Musicoat upgrade that audio_optimizer recommended on my SCD-777ES. I treaded all integrated circuit chips, disk shaped capacitors (not can style), axle leaded resistors, diodes, and diode heat shinks. This stuff ($105 shipped) really works. The digital hash is gone, I hear the air pulsating through the wind instruments, the decay is enhanced, i also hear the performer take a breath which I couldn't hear previously (enhanced resolution) on my reference disk, and I know the background noise is lower (I can hear more hiss on a super quiet passage I didn't hear before). I can now increase the volume on my Aloia amp/preamp without hearing so much digital grit/sizzle. Will order more to do amp and preamp. System includes Talon Khorus, 777, Aloia, and Audio Tekne cables. Thanks, Mike
