| Recommendations for a CD player $1500 or less FYI, I have purchased several Sony products over the years, including the SCD-1 for $2300 new, the XA777ES for $1500 new and the XA9000ES for $2000 from reputable local dealers. American Theatre was my first out of state purchase as my other avenu... | |
| Recommendations for a CD player $1500 or less Look, for the price of the Sony vs the competition, even if it breaks, you could buy several units until you would spend the amount needed to purchase a unit that rivals it's performance:O) The Sony is special in the way it Ladders the DAC's and r... | |
| MIT cables and super tweeters MIT cables have always outperformed any of the competition I have tried on my gear, from ARC and BAT reference gear to Levinson and Krell SS. Wire is just wire if it isn't MIT. Try any competitor and then try MIT...if you have ears and have ever h... | |
| Recommendations for a CD player $1500 or less I just spoke with Kevin and he assured me that I have the full 5 year warranty. I love the player:O) | |
| Recommendations for a CD player $1500 or less Mine actually came from the Record Shop in NJ, who is associated with Kevin. I geuss until I need service I won't really know for sure/ | |
| Recommendations for a CD player $1500 or less American Theatre in FLA can deliver one for $1180 in the US. See the ad on the "Gon listings under Sony. Kevin Mcrory will help you. | |
| Upgrade speaker cables OR amp for Dynaudio C4's? First off the pro 9's are not very good...I just got rid of mine. I had the C4's as well and they demand alot of power. Third, try MIT spkr cables for realistic sound. If you like the current amp try the cables from The Cable Co...maybe Magnum M3 ... | |
| Question concerning power cords . . . Try a Transparent MM Reference power cord in your system...you will be awestruck at what it can do for your components. Believe me, I've tried many reference PC's and found that wire alone can be made to sound different, but not better than any ot... | |
| Recommendations for a CD player $1500 or less Yes, buy it immediately! It is a phenomenal player for both RB and SACD. This player has put a smile on my face more so than my Krell SACD standard, BAT VK D5 24bit, Levinson 360s/37 combo, 390s 0r Wadia 861se. I also owned the Sony SCD-1, XA777ES... | |
| Review: Sony SCD-XA5400ES CD Player Update on XA5400ES! Breakin is quite extensive with this player as in several hundred hours on RB and SACD sections. Also, I re-evaluated the cables and outputs now that the player is sounding more fully developed. Balanced is better, offering am ... | |
| Review: Sony SCD-XA5400ES CD Player My brother had one from audio advisor and returned it...the Sony has exceptional tone and texture with no glare or grain while the cambridge still had a sense of hardness in the upper frequencies. | |
| Review: Sony SCD-XA5400ES CD Player Stop the presses....I just hooked up a pair of MIT Magnum M1 proline balanced IC's and all I can say is my opinion of the XA5400ES has gone even higher. I can safely say the new Sony is one of THEE FINEST digital players available at any price...d... | |
| Review: Sony SCD-XA5400ES CD Player Cleaner sounding with more acoustic and spatial information...other than that, not much. The777 looks way cool so I'd probably stick with it! | |
| Wilson Sophia 2's on Marantz Reference I have great respect for Hansen, but I was comparing their offering vs the Wilson lineup on a cost basis. At some point I draw the line...a three way, three driver speaker should not cost more than the Sophia, which is already pushing the bubble. ... |
