RE: UPDATE: Now "Silver Circle" is Selling his Sony SCD-1 ...

Maybe he's found a Meridian CDP? :0)

I've just revisited this thread and you've received quite a bit of stick from various posters, when in fact you are right on the nail in most respects.

The original poster asks "why does an at least 10-year old technology sound better to most here than a new SOTA universal player that Stereophile has just given a Class A rating to?"

Despite the quality of the SCD-1's build and transport, the answer is probably as you point out - that one is fully broken in while the other isn't, and even if it isn't entirely down to burn in, the fact remains that the comparison was meaningless.

How would owners of modified SCD-1s have felt if the poster I've linked to had compared his player to a fully burned in Esoteric for instance as it stood at the time he wrote his impressions of the sound?


Best Regards,
