Thanks for sharing your experience. I checked the sacdmods.com out, he indeed does quite a few things besides the clock. The additional power transformer is a welcome feature. But I couldn't find anything about "an iec connector (highly recommended)." Could you please elaborate on that?

I have a Sony SCD-775, about 20 SACDs and several hundreds Redbook CDs. The player does a good job playing SACDs (at least to me now). I am wondering if I can improve the Redbook CD playback a bit, as a X'mas gift to myself. I would like to stay in $500 range if possible. The options...

Here is another thread from audioasylum.com http://www.audioasylum.com/forums/hi...es/158745.html Allen Wright (http://www.vacuumstate.com/), who also does a lot of SACD mods, comments the 963 "We have a Philips 963 to an advanced stage - and it's sounding good. But it is a really cost...

I am looking for an amp under $350 for my HD-600. Is Creek OBH 11 a good match for HD-600? Is 11SE worth the extra money? Thanks.

As a poor fellow student, I know how much our hobby costs. Sure, I will keep you posted.

BTW, I just ordered SACD-60541 Tchaikovsky: 1812 Overture SACD-60006 Telarc SACD Sampler 1 SACD-60571 A Celtic Spectacular SACD-60579 The Sound of Glory

What about Telarc SACD Sampler 1?

What did you guys get? The coupon code still works.

FCJ, no I did not. I do not like the box of the Anniversary edition. I only have the Anniversary version of Italiano Concerto, which I am not very familiar with. I guess they sound similar if both use the Super Bit Mapping technique.

Even after I bought a SACD player, I will still buy more CDs than SACDs. It will be a while or forever to see enough SACDs to appear on the market.

Most of my Goulds are the The Glenn Gould Edition, white cover ones using Super Bit Mapping. There are some major deals about The Glenn Gould Edition (not the annversary ones) at tower.com. The regular two CDs set are $13.99, and are about $28 elsewhere. I bought Glenn Gould Edition - Bach...

redshifter, I haven't seen the 32 short films about Gould. I need to stop by the library to check it out. FCJ, I will let you know when I get the discs.

Of course, Michael Tilson Thomas' SACD according to your recommendation. I have Bernstein's Mahler's 1st on redbook CD.
