To those of you that listened to both these players:
which one is better sounding (in stock form) with audio CDs?
Any mod available for the Panny S47?
Thanks
Raul

Get the Tosh.. AND.. do the swenson mods.. couldn't be simpler.. and I believe his web site Photo instructions are still up.
Once done the Sonics go from above average.. to good luck finding a significantly better sound.
One problem for me is that the Toshiba 3950 is not available here in Italy, I should buy it from USA, and have it shipped here (expensive)then it would be 120VAC and it would need a transformer or a mod in the power supply.
The Panny is available here and it's rather cheap too. I think I will chose this simpler solution for now.
I have a Panny s35 that is much nicer than my Tosh 3960 quieter transport and fuller sound,less grain. Both are unmodded, the only thing I do well with a soldering iron is burn myself. I had an extended email correspondence with another Italian inmate over the Panny unit. I believe he eventually bought the s47.
Do a search of inmates for 'Beppo' nice person and fun to talk to.

5 minutes after posting, the drive motor in the Panny came to a SCREECHING halt- back on the Tosh sounds nice but I already miss the Panny
Guess I should just keep my mouth shut as the audio gods are now extracting a painful revenge

I have both and have listened extensively to the Toshiba, less so to the S47. Both are overachievers but in different ways. The Tosh is warmer with somewhat softened attack and not as lively as the Panny. The opposite applies to the Panny, great detail, dynamic. IMS of course.I am probably going to keep both as alternatives to my highend cdp when I want to exploit their strengths. Cheap enough.
So the answer is: it will depend on the rest of your system and your tastes. Not much help, huh?
