| Reliability/Repair Issues w/Sony 9000es DVD player I own two, and have never had a problem with either. They are both heavily modified by Dan Wright. The stock version is quite decent, particularly with SACD. HOWEVER, modifications turn this machine into a completely different animal. SACD becomes... | |
| Let's forget about being politically correct I'm having very good results using a Placette Active Linestage with a pair of hot-rodded Atma-Sphere MA-1 Mk II.2's. As advertised, the Placette is extremely transparent, allowing the wonder of the Atma's to be fully appreciated. I truly believe t... | |

| Sony 9000es mods and break-in Jph1, if you're going to have your 9000ES modded, there's really no need to break it in before doing so--it'll need to break in again once the new parts are installed. I had the the full blown mods (about $1,900 worth) done to my unit by Dan Wrigh... | |
| Help: Hook up Sony DVP-S9000ES Tim, once you get your 9000ES modified by Dan, you will enjoy redbook CDs even more, BUT, you will change your mind about SACDs. Well-done redbook CDs are VERY enjoyable, BUT, a well-done SACD is quite a bit superior to the well-done CD. SACD, in ... | |
| Thoughts on Placette Preamps? Considering the high quality level of your system, the Placette Passive will absolutely stun you. If you really want to hear what your system sounds like, you must give it a try. Since I put the Placette into my system (heavily modified Dan Wright... | |
| Best speakers for 2000-USED How about Spendor SP-1/2's for $2,000 NEW? Find the right dealer and that's the deal. For two grand, these speakers are a steal. | |
| What pre-amp would you choose The Placette Passive Linestage is a MUST audition. It's $1,400 from the factory with a 30-day review period, so you can return it if it doesn't suit you. However, returning it is highly unlikely if you have a very good source, very good speakers, ... | |
| Preamps - Active, passive...??? If you have an excellent digital source, excellent cables, an excellent amp, and want the convenience of remote control, you owe it to yourself to try the Placette Passive Linestage. It is absolutely phenomenal, with the above caveats. No kidding. | |
| Sony 9000es modwright mods, what do you folks think? Mikeg, the Level III mods from Modwright are $800, the Bybees are $80 each (installed), and the regulators are $60 each. In my opinion, these mods are well worth the cost. I now have an outstanding CD, SACD, and DVD player--all in one box. I am ve... | |
| Sony 9000es modwright mods, what do you folks think? Tireguy, I just got my heavily modded 9000ES back from Dan Wright. Initially, it didn't show the kind of improvement I had hoped for, but after about 20 hours of play time, it has improved immensely. It is now blowing away my Classe' DAC-1, and se... |
