Bargain Priced SACD Giant Killer?

Clio09: The line to get into the Vmps room at CES was very long due to the new Constant Directivity feature we have on our speakers(I'm a Vmps dealer). There have been waveguides in the past but none as effective as these being used with our planar ribbon hybrid speakers. There will be more on this in the future.

Brian will only use the best sounding sources so it's safe to say that the Sony cd player must be a killer. Vmps speakers are super transparent and if there had been something wrong in the front end you'd hear it.

hace to agree with cwlondon on this.... why have big $$$$$ invested on sacd player with limited software ?

it is unfortunate that the high res formats didnt make ( why spend big $$$$ on a 2 channel multiformat player ? there is very, very limited software.. (the sony scd-1 is a fantastic sacd player but just okay on cd...)

what it boils down to....

-we are stuck with redbook cd's with the majority of digital
- a really good dac can be used with multiple playaback systems
-analog is here to stay and there is plenty of software ( a killer playback system can be had for cheap..vpi scout)
-sacd software is limited and will continue to be so (asking consumers to spend $$$ on multiformat players doesnt make sense.

Warrenh,

Trust me, Brian was impressed alright, he was very impressed.

Line? Where? CES? When?

You boyz are tooo much! LOL!

With all due respect,
Alex

Clio09:

I've had the TRL/Sony DVP-NS900V for over a month now and concur that it is incredibly musical, dynamic and natural ... in a very analog sense.

I spoke with Brian at TRL today and he said they recieved 9 Sony 900's in the past 2 days and were expecting another 3 by the end of the day. (one each belonging to all 3 exhibitors in the VMPS/Bruce Moore/Xtreme Cable room and one un-named reviewer).

Best wishes,

Jack
