| Where is the best place to buy SACD And some people reported buying their S9000ES DVD/CD/SACD player at www.oade.com for $1,080 if I remember correctly. | |
| SACD Players The 9000ES has digital out (coaxial and optical) for DVD, CD, and 96/24. My son and I compared the CD digital out going into my Rotel 985 with the Sony CD D/A conversion and analog into the Rotel. We agreed the both approaches had similar sound qu... | |
| Where is the best place to buy SACD Go to audioreview.com People add their reviews and tell how much and where they bought the item. Several people bought their Sony 9000ES mail order for $300-400 under list. I bought mine locally, Myer-Emco in DC area, but they had a $200 store-wid... | |
| Has anyone heard Billy Holiday on SACD? Check out this source which reviews several SACD recordings, one of which was the Billie Holiday SACD. The review is not positive. http://www.audaud.com/audaud/MAR00/SACDs/SACDs.html I own the remastered CD. It's the best CD recording of Billie Ho... | |
| SACD WINS! I also read a review of CES somewhere that stated that there were "almost 300" SACD CDs. I can't find that many in my catalogs. By the way, the battle between SACD and DVD-audio is not over--and won't be for some time. So far, both sides have play... | |
| anyone heard sony s9000es I paid $1300 and I can't find anything close that sounds as good. I read a review that concluded that the CD play of the Pioneer 37 ($1000 list) was but smoother than the CD Sony, but that Pioneer could not match the Sony SACD play. The Pioneer 37... | |
| SACD WINS! FYI. I just mail ordered 2 SACD's from HMV.COM from Canada. They only stock the Sony SACDs, but the price was $18.42. Shipping was about $5 for two, and the shipment arrived in exactly one week. I live near Washington, CD. I'm pleased. | |
| next step in upgrade - - pre-amp ? Buy a Sony 9000ES CD/DVD/SACD player on trial. You will be shocked by the improvement in both CD and DVD sound, not to mention video. Oh yes, then there's SACD. | |
| SACD WINS! Dustin, Sounds like SACD puts up back to the days of 78's and AM radio. In the couple instances where there's both 24/96 and SACD versions of the same master recording, why have the reviewers preferred SACD? Why does everyone prefer SACD over CD. ... | |
| SACD WINS! I agree. I can't see the industry giving up a 2.8 million/second sampling system, for a 96K/192K per second system. DVD-audio will survive, just like DTS is surviving, but it's not for audiophiles or master recordings. It is an improvement over CD... | |
| Must -have SACD's I have the Willie Nelson remastered Stardust CD. I consider it one of my favorate and best recorded CDs. I do not have the SACD, but Stardust is on Sony sampler disk that came with my S9000ES. The SACD version of Stardust is more dynamic, defined,... | |
| Long runs- digital or video I have all my electronics in the back of the room. About 2 years ago, I bought a Monster 10 meter (33 Ft.) S-video cable for a little over $100. I placed my Sony DV-300 DVD player in front of my 35" tube TV and alternated between the Sony supplied... | |
| anyone heard sony s9000es In reading reviews everywhere before I bought, I concluded: 9000ES Video is the best--bar none. CD is similar to $1,000 CD only players. DVD audio is similar to $1,000 DVD players. SACD betters $10,000 CD players and turntables. The 5 year warrant... | |
| anyone heard sony s9000es I recently bought the Sony S9000es, the $500 Panasonic A7, and the JVC723GD ($600). The A7 and 723 have DVD-Audio. The CD sound of the Sony is superior to the DVD-Audio sound on the Panasonic and JVC. SACD is in a league by itself. After listening... |
