SONY XA5400ES - Preliminary Observations
I think my Sony SCD XA5400ES is a bit on the cold, brite, high pitched side. See my thread for more detail. 
Nottingham Spacedeck or Pro-ject 9.1?

Thanks for the responding to my question. I'm not concerned about the base the TT sits on more then I am about the sound. 
Review of Stock Sony 5400 ES CD/SACD and VSE Mod
I have met Bill and he's a great guy. He repaired my Theta Miles about 2 years ago. I have a 5400 too. What does Bill charge for the up-grades? 
Sorry, a question about the Sony SCDXA5400ES.
Sony is out of the 5400ES. I just got mine on Monday from a internet source and have left it on to burn in.I plan on doing a A to B test in a few days with the Sony vs. my Theta Miles. So far it sounds pretty good. Will report back. 
Has anyone had eperience with the new sony xa5400e

How does the Cambridge Azur 840C sound compared
I want to thank everyone for their feedback. It should be noted that my 13 year old Theta Miles still sounds great through my Rogue 150 monoblocks that drive my Martin Logan SL3's. I replaced the screens on the SL3's 2 years ago and it still sound...

Sony SCDXA5400es vs. Cambridge Azur 840c
Thanks for your response, I prefer warmth over a edgy sound. I'm looking for a wide sound stage as well. 
Need advice on a good Phono preamp
I tried the Nova Phenomena and the PS Audio but it just didn't have the warm sound I was looking for. Having heard all my records through a Conrade Johnson for many years and now using Rogue mono blocks, I was looking for something different. The ... 
Synergistic Research Mark II-S speaker cables
Thanks for the comeback. I was told today by Elliot at SR that the cables sold new in 2001 for about $700 to $800 for a 8 foot pair. Somebody somewhere has heard them, I hope. 
The best CD Player for the money
I want to buy a CD player too but a witch stole my brain. 
Can a small amount of bleach hurt your records?
Halcro, Steam sounds good to me, I wonder however if it would be safe to use while the record is on my VPI 16.5 record cleaner? 
Can a small amount of bleach hurt your records?
Halcro,That's a real nice set up you have.Ever thought of steam cleaning with a couple drops of L'Art du Son? Which steam Cleaner do you use? 
Ear 834P vs. Wright 200c Phono Stage Amps
Thanks for all the help. I got the George Wright WPP200c phono amp. I'm using a Dynavector 20xH. It sounds real real nice. I now have a Musical Fidelity X-LPSv3 on sale for half price. CHEERS
