SONY SCD-1 vs the New Generation of Competition

Jwmazur: this is great input and very much appreciated. I too have noted the extensive number of (used and new) TriVista (s) for sale, and considering it is a limited production model, and all the positive press it has received, can't help but wonder what's wrong... I have been printing off everything I've found RE the mods, just in case I end up buying the SCD-1...

I have also read a good deal about the ML 39, and so com152, your information with regard to that model is very helpful to me and very much appreciated also. I certaily will take your advice and explore that prospect further.

Please keep it coming folks!

Rbstehno/Jayctoy:
Great info. I probably wouldn't have considered the 9000es, so the knowledge that it can be modified and sound that good is very helpful.
Jackcob:
Thanks very much for your input. Its great to hear from someone currently using a recent production model. What unit did you have before the SCD-1, and what do you like most about the SCD-1's sound?
Thanks to all, and please do keep it coming...

Kana813:

Thank you very much for your suggestions. Can you name the top two models you think would satisfy my desire for more fullness and body?

Appreciatively,

Woodburger and Rbstehno:

Sorry for my delay in responding; I have been out doing comparisons and making the purchase. I ended-up liking the Cary 306/200 the best and have purchased one.

Thank you all for your help.

Pehare: thanks for the leads on the Cary units. I will check them out.
Jwin/Jayctoy: Your input is very much appreciated, and it appears that if I go with the Sony, and want maximum (even for Redbook) playback, I should go with the mods. I have to admit, the modified Sony is sounding mighty inviting at this point…
Kana813: I saw your posting just as I was getting ready to send the above, and as a result, am even better prepared for my quest. Thanks very much.
Sincere thanks to you all…
