TRL or VSEI Level 4 for Sony S9000ES


For what seems to be called redbook CD, I take the digital out from the Sony through the DACs in the Proceed PDSD, becuase this gives a more open and transparent sound and better sountstage than using the Sony DACs. For SACD, of course, the output from the Sony is analog, and uses Sony's internal pulse-width DACs. The redbook CD and SACD sounds are a bit different, perhaps the SACD might be warmer, the redbook CD more detailed.

I really like the Sony S9000ES , and am wondering about having it modified by TRL or VSEI. There seems to be a substantial difference in cost. Your thoughts, preferences, or recommendations would be appreciated.

Enough said. killer performance, Plus
Paul Weitzel is a craftsman, and only uses the finest of materials currently available. I've had Mr. Wetitzel perform many different mods on various types of products over the past several years, all of which have been the cutting edge from a performance vs. money spent ratio. Although, I haven't heard anything about the the other option you have listed... I'm sure it's good? But, something else to keep in mind is the fact that a lot of NEWCOMERS to the world of MOD's are just that "NEW" to the game. Paul has been in the business for some 30 years or so, and has been in the vanguard of the digital front for just about as long! Among, the many credits, and accomplishments to his name is also the fact He has been a recording engineer for the better part of his life and knows what sounds right, and how to achieve it! just some food for thought...
cheers
