Robert, (and others): I am actually a little suprised that the 555 or 333 appears to get 100% vote for SACD/CD playback over the 9000ES. If the opinions were a little more varied I may be thinking more about keeping the 9000ES after demoing it. However over the years I have developed a great...

Thanks also to you RicP for posting on this thread. It was an important reply you made much earlier where you said you have had both the 9000 and 333 to compare to. I personally need to know more info as to why a person likes/dislikes a product, the additional posts of yours accomplished this...

Thanks once again for the info Keith and other members. Looks like after a demo I should be ending up with a Sony 5 disc unit when I consider price, application, forum responses and other reading. I'll give the 9000ES a try since the option is there and I am curious about the improvement DVD...

Keith, I don't think I'll have the chance to demo the 9000 and a 333 or 555 together since my dealer only has the 9000ES on hand now. Perhaps I can get one from another store here, something I'll look into. However, my experience with playing around with audio equipment is that there is a...

I will also be doing the same thing that Sankar suggests for a buddy of mine during the holidays. Its a simple solution to simplify the control of a system. You can usually find plastic 'project boxes' at electronic stores to house the components and I have seen them at Radio Shack. I am...

Well I have been reading various articles and posts, then thinking, then reading some more, then thinking some more etc, etc etc. I plan to take home the 9000ES to try it out and see how it sounds and see how the DVD performs over my existing unit. The demo 9000ES at the dealer has about 50-70...

KeithH, thanks for posting here. I have read your posts over previous months regarding the SACD players you have. I have also read posts on Audio Asylum regarding the Sony products. I have absolutely zero interest in multi-channel sound, I can experience this in movies with 5.1 but when I...

Thanks for the info thus far guys, Ric, I never read anyone comparing the 555 or 333 to the 9000ES before thus the reason for my post. I would like to get more feedback on this comparison. I have read a few weeks back on comments that the 555 was better than the 333 (maybe I have this...

I am thinking of buying one of these units in the next few weeks and will be trying one out at home shortly. I was wondering if anyone had comments on the audio performance of these units and if anything else is comparable for price/performance for SACD and CD. Note that I consider the DVD...

Mike, I had a similar problem with a hum which I concluded to be a result of grounding as explained in the Jensen Transformer link posted by Henry. I was running for a while with a pre-amp with a two prong plug connected to an amp with a three prong plug. The amp was thus the path to ground...

I used use an EQ and tone controls although rather mildly with the boost and cuts. That was back when I was piecing together a system with what ever I could find at a price I could afford. The tone control helped me tune the sound to my liking. As years went by and my components improved I...

Good discussion guys, thanks BruceK. I really pulled a no-brainer when checking the outer conductor yesterday. I have been working with so much shielded twisted pair wiring and medium voltage cable installation design and automatically applied the same theory to RCA's without thinking about...

The theory I see it with the arrows is that the shield should only be grounded to the outer sleeve of the RCA at one end and thus eliminate a ground loop. The source of the signal should have the grounded shield and thus the arrow points downstream from the source. This is the theory for high...
