Definitely a good listen

Curiousjim and nonoise - thanks for the education about improvements in Class D amps - and especially Technics new equipment. I have never considered Class D but this Galium Nitride innovation sounds amazing going forward. I have always been a Krell guy when it comes to amplification, but it looks like I now have other options to explore when my current equipment ‘ages out’.

Question,  do you have a lot of SACD’s and how do they sound using the SLH-700?

Nonoise, I wish I had a local jazz station to listen to.  I do not use the internet radio, seems to be about like satellite radio, meaning it sounds washed out.

@curiousjim 

I don't have a lot of SACDs but when using the SL-G700 SACD player the difference between CDs and SACDs are now more easily discernible. I've never heard this much difference before.

I won't so far as to say that it's a night 'n day difference because of all the blowback I'd get but you can just hear more of what's there. It sounds better sorted and more real. There are still CDs that are every bit the equal, sound wise, so it all depends on the recording.

All the best,
Nonoise

I hear ya! I have the same feelings about internet radio as you. It just doesn't sound right. Right now, with my current set up, FM sounds so close to how CDs sounded with my older Marantz set up (PM15S2 integrated and SA15S2 SACD player) that I'm beginning to think it sounds possibly better, at times.

There's still life in FM.

All the best,
Nonoise
