What interconnects with SACD 1000 ?


Out of curiosity, what interconnects are you folks using with your SACD 1000 ? I know that this is both system dependent and a matter of personal preference, but i'm kind of curious. I was running the cables that i had hooked up to my previous DVD / CD player but was missing top end "air" and "spaciousness". Switched over to some Magnan IV's tonight. Not too much time listening to them, but the sound is now very natural sounding but a little lean and lacking "drive" for harder music. Bass is MUCH sharper and cleaner sounding with far better definition, but lacking in "weight". Kind of a role reversal as the 1000 initially struck me as being a little heavy at the very bottom. Those of you into acoustic music / vocals may find this combo very, very nice. From the lower mids on up, the presentation is very natural, to the point of being "seamless". If i could just get a bit more warmth out of this combo, i'd be riding down main street. I'm going to pull the IV's and put them onto my burner ( never burned these as i just picked them up a while ago ) and see what happens. Burning cables tends to fill in the warmth region a bit, so this may be just what i need. In the meantime, i'll try throwing in a set of my Magnan II's or III's and see where that takes me. These all have somewhat similar sonics ( air dielectric with 36 gauge wire ) with different levels of air and slight shifts in tonal balance.

In the meantime, how about sharing what you folks have come up with ? Anybody done any comparisons to see what's worked best for them ? Sean

I am glad that I am amusing you while I have typos all around due to a bad kayboard. Let me ask you Brainwater... Have you ever made a mistake while you type? Would you like it when people make fun of you?
Have you have enough education from both your school and your teacher about being nice with the people who made mistake? This thread is for people to discuss, it's not for you to make fun of people. If you continue this behavior, I will notify Audiogon staff and have your membership taken away.
Brainwater-
I couldn't agree more with your comments! Even ignoring his poorly-assembled collection of misspelled words, Infinity_audio's dribble should be considered nothing more than amusement. His "reviews" (what pomposity!), at least those regarding the Philips SACD 1000, are mutually-contradictory, each one apparently influenced by whatever side of the rug on which he finds himself when he awakens.

I, too, make mistakes, but I've never thought to blame them on a "bad kayboard"! Gotta give him credit for inventiveness, if for nothing else!

Folks,

If you are happy with your SACD 1000, then fine. However, don't knock Infinity for sharing his opinion. Please do not consider his opinion as a personal attack AND do NOT attack him because his opinion is different from yours.

What he states is the general consensus among many people with very transparent systems. This machine is a great value at $400; it was a good value at $1000. At its original MSRP of $2000, it was sadly mediocre but full of features: DVD, CD and SACD.

Infinity,
Stop wasting your time with people whose systems are not as transparent as yours. I'd suggest you take yourself over to Audio Asylum for a more balanced approach to audio.
