RE: Esoteric DV-60 vs. SCD-1 with VSEI mods

I used to own the Sony SCD-1 (stock) and before that the Sony SCD-777ES (stock). I am very familiar with the sound of these players on CD and SACD. I now own the Esoteric DV-60 (stock). The Esoteric is so much better in every way on CD and SACD than the stock Sonys that it is not even funny. Hence, I respectfully distance myself from your comment that "most here" think that the stock SCD-1 sounds better than the stock DV-60.

There are several critical setting adjustments that need to be made to make a fully broken-in (i.e., at least 200 hours of playing time) Esoteric DV-60 sound its best. I previously posted in Digital Drive on this subject. I respectfully refer you to my prior post (see link below), suggest that you make the recommended setting adjustments, and then shoot out the two players and post your findings here.
