I haven't recieved any negative response Albert, I'll give you some positive to help offset it. Why would someone give someone negative feedback for making a friendly suggestion? Albert's writing style was not insulting or nasty, c'mon boys and girls, play nice.
Point of Diminishing Returns?
My HT/Music Set-up:
Proceed AVP (processor)
Rotel RMB1095 200X5 (amp)
Musical Fidelity E624 (cd)
Sony DVP-S7700 (dvd)
Monster HTS5000 (line conditioner)
Sony 36 in. XBR400 (tv)
Definitive Tech BP3000tl (main speakers)
Definitive Tech CLR3000 (center)
B&W CCM 65 (in-ceiling surrounds)
and I'm very satisfied with my aftermarket speaker cable, ICs, PC, and component video cables.
Now that you know what I'm working with how well would a Sony SCD1 or 777 fit into my system? Assuming I went with the SCD1 would that same $3000.00 be better spent someplace else in my set-up? I'm quite happy with my current set-up, but I've been contemplating SACD since the beginning. Finally I am able to justify the expense based upon reviews found on this site and others stating that cd playback is as good or better as other players/transports in this price range. Thank you all in advance for your thoughts and opinions. One more question. If you have either of the units above and are not usind a DAC what connection methods have you tried and which do you prefer?
