| Review: Sony SCD-XA5400ES CD Player Metralla rising...and with candor! Good to know there is hope afterall. The XA5400ES is an amazing player, especially considering the cost. It has pure grainless accurate tone across the spectrum with great dynamic range. Extension is beyond repro... | |
| Best power cable to component or to power strip? Get a high quality outlet extension...a quad perhaps. | |
| Review: Sony SCD-XA5400ES CD Player Ah, the ongoing evolution of the species made evident by the juvenile ramblings of the modern educational systems end products. Between the wit of Aarif and the miimalist threshold for humor exhibited by Metralla, we have bore witness to the inevi... | |
| Are There Any Good, High Power Solid State Amps? Keep the VT100 and get rid of the conditioner and the Bybee stuff. Try some PC's from the cable company and other cables if need be...you should have enough power! By the way, always use the 8ohm taps as they have better drive. | |

| Down grading with better /= sound Krell 400xi and Wilson Sophia speakers wt a Sony XA5400ES SACD/CD player. | |
| Review: Sony SCD-XA5400ES CD Player The Sony has absolutely zero digital nasties and presents the music with uncanny resolution and dimensionality. The other players are great but sound either too bright or closed in and dull. | |
| Review: Sony SCD-XA5400ES CD Player Compared to some of my $15K products the Sony cord 'aint bad! A Transparent Powerlink MM will make the Sony into a world class player. | |
| Review: Sony SCD-XA5400ES CD Player Tvad makes good points and I can only speak from my own experiences with tubed players. I understand and have heard what a well designed tube player can offer, but at the end of the day it doesn't quite deliver an honest representation of the musi... |
