You may want to consider upgrading your Thor linestage ( T1000 ? ) with the new Mundorf Caps..I did my T1000 and its a huge improvement over the last current model...My guess is you will get more performence this way than going to a SACD and buying $40 cds...Highendaudio.com ask for Ted ( owner of Thor Audio ) ........
Would an SACD Player improve my sound?
I currently have a pair of Quad electrostatics with Thor
TPA 150 amps, Thor linestage with a Blue Note Stibbert Improved cd player, and a Cary 306/200 which I use as a transport with a Thor Audio Dac. I have about 20 SACD titles.(currently listen to the cd layer)
Question:Would I get more resolution and better sound with a SACD with a maximum of $2000.00, perhaps a SOny SACD ES- 5400, than what I currently listen to. In short, will a
fairly good SACD player give me better sound (on the theory that there is more information on an SACD vs. a CD)
than a high quality CD player than I currently have?
I am willing ot take a shot at a purchase if an improved listening experience occurs.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
