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...

at www.audioasylum.com from a respectable source, Alex Peychev ( http://www.aplhifi.com/ ), who did lots of mods of CD/SACD players. Check out http://www.audioasylum.com/forums/hi...es/158420.html Basically the 963SA is a nice transport and DSP, but the power supply and filtration are the...

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.

I am a Gould fan too. I have almost all the Gould's Bach, around 25 CDs. I have both 55 and 81 Goldberg variations, and the DVD. I might pick up Murray Perahia's Goldberg variation SACD for the time being. I ordered three pure DSD multi-channel SACDs from tower.com, Mahler'1st, Four Seasons...

Redshifter, there is a good website to buy and check out SACD info: http://www.elusivedisc.com/ If you click the selction on the left, there is a option to see pure DSD SACDs.

Thanks all of you for your input. I will look for these Friday after exam. Any recommendations on Classical and Vocal Jazz please? Please also tell me what are/is your demo SACDs? Thanks. I guess redshifter means full DSD start from recording.

Less than 5 is fine. Just recommend something you like.

I took the plunge and bought the CE775 for $169 at local Circuit City. I need some help on finding SACDs. I have a small collection of Redbook CDs (around 200). 85% are classical, 10% pop, 5% jazz. I would appreciate your suggestion on getting some SACDs. I do not mind getting SACD that...

I have both and found that I had little use of the Etys. The thing is if you use Etys at work, you will have to remove them frequently in order to talk with other people. (You are not gona have any friend if you insist wearing Etys all the time.) If you use HD-600 at home, then a quiet and...

BMG is good.

I found that I do not have as much insulation as I read before. I can still hear people talking with music on, though faintly, which means that I do not know what they are talking about. The seal is tight and music sounds nice. Is this a problem of the seal or the normal case for everbody?

Quote: Originally posted by d_wilson The cable is attached to the transducer with a 2 pin plug and socket. It is a tight fit and I wouldn't recommend trying to remove it (you will most likely pull a pin out of the plug). You might be able to push the two halves together. I made a special...
