RE: REVIEW: Vacuum State Electronics VSE modified Sony SCD-XA5400ES with Terra Firma Lite SACD Player (Modded)

Posted by Karltoo on August 10, 2009 at 07:59:34:

Hi Rick;
Let me jump in here please! Send the $15,000--$20,000 heavy hitter to me
I will pay shipping. Quality parts? aside, the business world tells me
these sometimes,not always, flagship models are attention getters and
lead hopefully into a trickle down sales effect. Do you REALLY believe
any owner of the heavy hitters or his few dealers would send or loan
the player to me for possible in depth review?? If I were the company
owner I would forbid any dealer to even let you bring a VSEI upgraded
player into the store for a brief comparison! As the owner I am in
business to make some money not to satisfy some audiophile nuts that
think they hear a little difference on one CD! Rick, we are hobbyists
and a few of us are real music lovers. Real music lovers go to hear
live music concerts with unamplified instruments!! Why do they have
to be unamplified--because different amps sound different and are not
a reference to our recordings. When may I expect delivery of a real
heavy hitter? I notice in this thread of posts a list of them,
half of which are NOT heavy hitters-just expensive.
