SACD Source recording
I'm with Tireguy. I own 2 very good players(1 DVD-Audio and 1 SACD), and I much prefer SACD. I just don't get into the whole multi-channel music thing. I'm not saying that I won't, but it is just not for me at this time. I do like DVD-Audio in ste... 
Your 5 Stupendous SACD vs Redbook
No typo Ben. What I meant to say is the SACD layer and Redbook layer are both very good to my ears. They are not the night and day he might be looking for. He's using a DAC6 so everything will probably sound fabulous, but on my SCD-1 I hear big di... 
Your 5 Stupendous SACD vs Redbook
Here you go Proy. I only have about 70 titles so far, so I'll give you a combination. John Coltrane/Soultrane, Cookin with the Miles Davis Quintet, Dave Brubeck Quartet/Time Out, Mozart Symphonies 38&40/Bruno Walter(Sony), Music of Turina and ... 
Not happy with Krell SACD
Drjohn, Being the owner of an SCD-1,I can tell you that break-in is very real. It was my first decent player so I liked the sound right out of the box. At about 200 hrs it started to really open up, but it did'nt get great until about 400 hrs or s... 
Met Danny Carey from Tool, what a Super Guy
You are a lucky man Joe. I haven't been to a clinic in about 10 years. It was Dave Weckl and man was this guy impressive, and being a drummer myself, I'm particular with my musical choices. Rush, The Police, Dave Matthews and TOOOOOOOOOOOOL. These... 
Best SACD/CD player I can get for $5k new or used
As far as build quality goes, they don't get any better than the SCD-1(inside or out).Gary 
DCFC on SACD
I've never heard of this band, Justin. How would you describe or compare their music. Gary. 
SCD-1 Questions...
Sorry to hear that Woodburger. I wonder if it could be the type of disc you using, have you tried different varieties. I use Memorex 80 and TDK's with no problem at all. Gary. 
SCD-1 Questions...
Yes it will play CD-R's, not CD-RW's. Gary. 
Power Cord for Sony SCD-1
Agreed. Mine did'nt really sing until 300 or so hours on each, then it will be like someone turned on the lights. Enjoy your player. Gary. 
Do SACD player start up slower
I could'nt agree more Jackcob. It's pride of ownership and knowing you own one of the best transports on the market. Gary. 
musical fidelity trivista sacd player
Actually Irishdog, the SCD-1 has potted transformers, supposedly better damping materials and don't forget the fifth foot for support. The machines are very similar outside of that. That being said, I did hear a difference when I auditioned the 2 ... 
which is better, Sony SCD-1, or SCD-XA777ES?
Rich, those prices are way off, for the 777ES I mean. Maybe they are in Canadian. $3400 is even a little high for the SCD-1, but not unbelievable. 777ES is at around $1500-$2000. Gary. 
Worried about my Sony SCD-1
2 year old SCD-1, never once had a problem. 
SACD player for CD
I second the SCD-1. Gary.
