In Reply to: Are You Using An Unmodded SACD Player For CD Also? posted by Robertc88 on March 30, 2007 at 06:07:57:
$169 delivered. it has no right to be making rbcd sound as good as it does, but it DOES. its sacd and dvd perf is pretty good as well. i may go with an oppo for dvda and hdcd, maybe it will come close or be as good or better.i must mention that the ns500v is no longer available new. it was being discontinued when i bought it a few years ago.

I find this very strange. I just sold my XA777ES because I was really happy wth the NS500V's
performance on SACDs. But mine sounds pretty dreadful on CDs and as a transport. Go figure. Just bought a Raysonic CD 128 to handle Redbook duties. Dave
Were you able to audition the Raysonic before you bought it? I know were interested in the the Rega.
I have it on a two-week trial. Sounded fantastic out of the box when I got it (Wednesday) and has since regressed into a break-in period in which it sounds pretty blah, but I have hopes. It's absolutely gorgeous (I know, that shouldn't matter. but...), built like a tank, tubed output (4 6922s), and is a keeper, I think at this point. 6moons appears to agree.Yes, I was considering a Rega Saturn. The Raysonic is quite a bit cheaper and something of a gamble. Have I said it's simply gorgeous? Guess so. :-)
