    Just bought a SACD player.......:-))))

    Thanks to a " nudge" from a friend and a buying tip from the AudioAsylum, I now a " new adopter" .

    SCD-777ES, 55lbs, less than $1700!

    At first I was VERY hesitant, but after hearing one I was seduced.

    Here's an " image" for the sound. The " best" characteristics of CD, combined with the " best" characteristics of vinyl, and no that's not an oxymoron

    It has the " warmth and presence" of vinyl combined with the " detail and clarity" of CD.

    Another nice benefit is that it's an amazing " standard" CD player too. Reveling of detail/sound quality, I've never previously heard in my CD collection.

    If you get a chance to audition one...try it. You might be surprised.

    Thomas,

    Congrats on the new addition to your system. I got a chance a few weeks to demo a SCD-777ES player. The one I auditioned was not fully broken in. I do plan later to get a do another home demo with one that is fully broken in.

        Very nice Thomas! But you know you just set yourself up. Now, after it's broken in, and you have gotten intimately familiar with it, you have to do a review in Review Dejure' to make us all green with envy.

        Also, welcome to the forum, and sorry it was such an ordeal, getting a PW.

        Enjoy the new player!

        Lex

            ThomasW – that is one impressive system you have. I am sure the SACD will fit right in

              Redundant? Review and comments on SCD777ES
              by JonMarsh
              This unit was auditioned and purchased primarily for the SACD playback capability, and the belief that at the "street" pricepoint it would provide reasonable CD playback performance. The SACD performance was very much as expected, and though dependent on the quality of source material and...

              I&#39;ve never done one of these so I&#39;m not sure where to start, but here goes.....

              First, wear a back brace, man this thing is HEAVY! 55lbs!

              It&#39;s like placing a turntable. It has to be on a open top shelf because it&#39;s a top loader. Sexy smooth...

              DVD Player for my situation?
              by Oak244
              Hi, I bought my very first HT system before I even knew so many audio companies existed. Needless to say, I had to buy what I could hear locally, with the exception of my speakers which I bought blind.

              Now, I have made a few changes since and these are continuing. What I have is a...
