You were right mesch. I listened to both the Toshiba and Sony S700 all day yesterday and the Toshiba sounded better to me over the course of the day. I was actually surprised that I could discern such a difference between the two. The Toshiba was fun to listen to with almost everything I played while there were a few cds that were difficult to get through using the Sony. The greatest example was Brian Ferry of Roxy Music and the song Love is a Drug. That CD sounded awesome in the Toshiba but intolerable in the Sony. Vocals were so shrill on the Sony I couldn't get through it. Don't know I would have noticed as much if I wasn't listening to them head to head. Should have done this years ago. While I do think the Sony is more of what I would describe as detailed, that detail turns out to be what I'm finding as bright, so maybe just more detailed in the upper realm. Not sure I'm even describing it correctly but the Toshiba was the clear winner for me. Thanks for all of the suggestions. I'm getting excited about little tweeks now that I know I can identify them.
Help with first cable upgrade.
I have a Musical Fidelity v-150, rotel rp-3000 turntable and an old Sony CD player. I have 2 sets of speakers B&W CM2's and JM Lab chorus floorstanding speakers I may have to part with due to space. My power cables and interconnect cables are cheap stock. My speaker cables are a 20 year old or so set of MIT shotgun cables. Any recommendations for budget friendly cables that may help the bass or soften the brightness of my system? Thanks.
