| Have you gone hi-rez? Which format and why? Sounds like you need a Sony SCD-1. You'll never look back and wonder if it was the right choice. Both "redbook" CD and SACD playback are up to par with the big boys.Although the $5k retail price might be a shock, not to worry because they sell for... | |
| Question for SCD-1 Owners I have an SCD-1 and absolutely LOVE it! I wondered about the sound myself, but I guess this confirms that it is normal mechanical noise, as the "sled" moves the disc into position under the fixed pickup. | |
