| Anyone else tried the Acoustic Systems Liveline? If Pani has an Einstein Preamp their sound is very foward, clean and detailed. I could see why he may not like the ASI. One is blaming the cable when they maybe should be blaming the source. | |
| Sony SCD-XA5400ES-Best SACD for under $10,000 No I am using a Belden 14 gauge cord, but I am using the same cord on the Modright as well. | |
| Sony SCD-XA5400ES-Best SACD for under $10,000 Rfogel is right. The Playback lacked body was two dimensional and brittle on top. I am putting the 500 hours on it and will report back. I have talked to several people who own the Playback and liked it right out of the box. This would be the firs... | |
| New Oppo BDP-95 better than the McIntosh MVP-881? Oppo has been shipping and is still shipping new players. I ordered one three weeks ago and got mine a week later. I returned it because I like the Sony 5000ES better. | |
| New Oppo BDP-95 better than the McIntosh MVP-881? My experience seems different. I own an Oppo 83SE and my nephew has the Oppo 95. My Oppo using HDMI or the analog outputs for movies sounds thin in the midrange. The 95 is better but I still hear this problem. No question picture quality is great.... | |
| Digital output or Analog output from Blu Ray playe My unit was shipped on Monday so I may get it tomorrow or Monday. I think the 95 should sound better even through the HDMI because of the bigger power supply. | |
| Digital output or Analog output from Blu Ray playe I will let you know, but I don't think I will have the 95 until early March. | |
| Digital output or Analog output from Blu Ray playe Movies sound much better through hdmi than going through analog outputs of the Oppo 83se | |
| Digital output or Analog output from Blu Ray playe I was wondering the same thing. I just bought a used Classe SSP-800 to replace my 300. I bought an Oppo 95 to replace my 83SE.

| Review: Sony SCD-XA5400ES CD Player I have the modright modded cd player that you are knocking and I can tell you it sounds fabulous and worth every penny of the upgrade. | |
| Ultralinear vs. Triode Usually I like Ultralinear mode better than triode in the VTL and CJ amps. I now own the VAC PHI 300.1 monos and like it much better in triode. | |
| Modwright sony xa 5400cd Bob did you remember to take your Prozac today. Wow, what an article. First off I never said I did not like the Modright CD player. I just noted that I thought its pace was a tad slower than I was used to. Everything in this hobby is suggestive. W... | |
| Modwright sony xa 5400cd I am using 14 gauge belden power cords. I am just using the cd players feet. Pentode mode did not matter, I do prefer triode better. The cd player sounds marvelous with Sylvania 6sn7 input tubes in the amps. I had RCA's in that position before. | |
| Modwright sony xa 5400cd I am using 2.5m of unbalanced Cardas Clear. Capacitance of the cable if too high would effect the top end by rolling it off; would not effect pace and rhythm. I am using a VAC Phi 300.1 monoblocks and their best preamp. I am in triode mode. I will... | |
| audio research dac 3 vs m-f trivista 21 I own a Trivista DAC as well paired up with a CEC 1. Great sound. Just for giggles I am getting a Sony XA-5400ES modright modded cd player to compare. |
