| Review: Sony SCD-XA5400ES CD Player May Stereophile 'Music in the Round' Kal Rubinson's Part 1 review of the now discontinued Sony XA5400ES is totally accurate It makes a change to find a 100% correct review. The XA5400ES takes a long while to fully burn in and then becomes the best... | |
| Review: Sony SCD-XA5400ES CD Player The power cord supplied with the UK XA5400ES is a total disgrace for this price product and such a poor fit that it will disconnect if accidently slightly touched. However I do not believe in expensive power cords all you need is a heavy duty one ... | |
| Review: Sony SCD-XA5400ES CD Player The Sony XA5400ES is an excellent player for both RB CD & SACD but only sounds best via HDMI I look forward to reading Kals review. May Stereophile not available in the UK untill the end of this month. | |
| Should I be worried if buying a 5-6 year old CDP? My Marantz CD94 is now 20 years old I have owned it for the past 17 years and the only replacement required has been new belts. I had it extensively modified when I bought it.. When I meet the designer Ken Ishiwata he keeps on telling me that the ... | |
| Review: Sony SCD-XA5400ES CD Player Whilst I agree the XA5400ES is very good its real forte is multi-channel SACD (as stated in the March Hi-Fi News review)it is also superior to the Oppo 980H especially with a Sony H.A.T.S. receiver STR-DA5400ES provided it does not pack up as mine... | |
| Ayre CX-7e comparison to Sony SCD-xa5400es The strength of the Sony XA5400ES is in its SACD performance on both Stereo & Multi-channel which is excellent and I doubt if the Ayre can match it. I do not find it as good as my modified Marantz CD94 for RB CD but many will find it very acce... | |
| Review: Sony SCD-XA5400ES CD Player The XA5400ES is excellent with both Stereo & multi-channel SACD. However for RB CD I much prefer my 20 year old modified Marantz CD94. | |
| Review: Sony SCD-XA5400ES CD Player The XA5400ES is superior to the Oppo 980H for multi-channel SACD via HDMI. However for RB CD it requires a 500 hour break in which I am doing at the moment. Out of the box the player is far too forceful with a too powerful bass piano sounds very c... | |
| How good is the Marantz SA-7S1? For long term fatigue free listening Marantz is still the best Esoteric is just another overpriced machine. I am fortunate in having a modified Marantz CD94 if I did not have the CD94 I would have stayed with the SA-7S1 which needs a 1000 hour bur... | |
| How good is the Marantz SA-7S1? I sold my overweight overpriced in the U.K. SA-7S1 as I found my 20 year old modified CD94 sounded just as good if not better both on RB & SACD. The SA-7S1 should have been a multi-channel player which I hear Marantz will shortly launch. | |
| Review: Marantz SA-11S2 CD Player If this review is accurate then all I can say is I have wasted money on buying the Marantz SA-7S1 which is no where near as good as my 20 year old Marantz CD94(modified) which is far superior to the SA-11 first version. The CD94 despite not being ... |
