Well I had been living with the Sony SCD-777ES for 8 months
now. I was impressed with SACD not until I replaced my VPI
HW-19 III with JA MICHELL Gyrodec SE. It was explosive smokes the 777ES. The combination of vintage Western Electric 300B triodes and vinyl is mind bogling. And by the
way for me it's a must to step-up transformer for MC cartridge. I use it on the Koetsu Black mounted on Graham 1.5T.
