| SACD player is not that great. Stan Warren can be reached by phone only (unless you live in Eugene, OR): 541/344 - 3696. HOWEVER, Stan does not imvolved with 777 at all. he is working on my 9000ES to upgrade its analog stage. He is now so busy... He has my unit fro 203 weeks no... | |
| SACD player is not that great. RcPrince is correct. Another alternative: try 9000ES it has different sound and some like it more then 777 (It also has DVD w/progressive scan if its of interest). BEWARE, 9000ES souns terribe out of the box, you need about 300 hours for burn-in. ... | |
| Where is the best place to buy SACD FYI: HMV introduced SACD Chesky Records for $29 | |
| Marantz SA-1 (Super Audio CD player) ? Jtinn: Don't point away from this thread. Analog, SACD converted, signals have bandwidth of about 100kHz. It put different requirment for the rest of the system. Nice to have speaker with hi-freq tweaters for example, more important such huge banw... | |
| Liked the Nautilus 805 but found better? A few things can help immensely: a) Vibration control devices betweenn speakers and stand. Walker Points I use are excellent. Marigo dots as explained above; b) increase current to your amp. The new copper FatBoys from Electraglide are bass "orien... | |
| Marantz SA-1 (Super Audio CD player) ? Watt Puppy system: Gentelmen, I enjoy so much this particular discussion (not a single ugly comment...yet) I decided to give my "drop" on it. As a matter of fact, I never auditioned Series 6 - good beginning (but I heard that a friend of my sister... | |
| Marantz SA-1 (Super Audio CD player) ? Trelja: the boot time of 9000ES and I presume 3333..etc is much shorter then that of older generation. It may sound strange but I love SACD sound so much that I prefer longer loading time because I can turn off lights, sit, take a few deep breaths... | |
| Active or passive preamps? Try Placette ($1,200) ther designer claim its superb with SACD. 30 days money back warranty. If you will do it - please report results | |
| Must -have SACD's My nominee is Verdi Requim by Ormandy. You can't take performance out from recording. With SACD dynamic range this piece, particularly track #2, is breathtaking. Delos single SACD soud is awesome, indeed, but performance by Litton is inferior to h... | |
| Marantz SA-1 (Super Audio CD player) ? Jtinn: are imply that SACD sound was the same for you? May I ask for your reference system and SDACDs you played. Rhanks - Simon | |
| SACD Players JADE:Its matter if you want to continue and build upon available. In such as case, current sound is less important then expected in future. it much better to start with good engineering rather then bad. If you are only interested in stock, you are... | |
| SACD Players Doug, I know what you read. Multi-channel SACD is said by "experts" in Stereophile (in the issue where Scull reviewed Technics A10 DVD-A Player) can be done only by using PCM process, if it is so in Sony/Phillips units or not we, really, don't kno... | |
| SONY SCD S333ES Kitty: I have 9000ES (which is similar to 333) and I compare it to 777ES. As I matter a fact I owned 777ES and changed it to 9000ES. The 777ES has greater resolution, detail, wider dynamic range, airy and have slightly better dynamic range. 9000ES... | |
| SACD Players Myles, Doug: FRAUD or FROG? DSD->PCM or vice versa. As far as I know: many many years ago digital recording became single bit (in most but not all studious) x64 or x128 oversampling. Lets count, 44.1 kHz x 64 = few MHz. in other words its very ... | |
| Cheap SACD Player or wait for DVD Audio? 9000ES Upgrade: I been asked in one of the previous posts if I know how to removed 50kHz low pass filter in 9000ES.No I do not. However, to build on good qualities of 9000ES and improve many many bad ones I send my unit to Stan Warren for upgrade ... |
