Tweaking a lower end SACD player tips

Hdm-I went to the "Take Five Audio" website and viewed the 5266 plug.It has a ground prong on it.
Please clue me in :~)

When you hack off the male on the fixed cord on the Sony, the live wire should be encased in a black sheath, the neutral in a white. There will be no ground. Simply insert the black in the black (live) hole of the Marinco with the black screw, the white (neutral) in the clear hole with the silver screw and forget about the ground. You have exactly the same wiring set-up you had before, just with an extra ground prong which has nothing connected to it. If for some reason (it's highly unlikely) the wires are not color coded when you hack the male off, just pay careful attention to the orientation of both male plugs (the Sony male will only fit in the receptacle one way because one of the prongs is larger, and the Marinco will only fit in one way because of the ground pin, and correct accordingly to ensure correct polarity. It will be quite clear when you're looking at it.

Thanks again Hdm! Maybe I can tweek the level of perfomance of this lower end player up to the level of the SCD-777ES!! :~)
You have given me great tips.I will let you know the outcome in time.

If you want to really improve the Sony you'll need to get under the hood. Some ERS material place under the power supply is an easy tweak to try, but to really improve it's
performance you'll need to clean up its switch mode power supply. There should be a large cap on the power supply
around 80-200uf/350-400v. That's a good place to start with
a upgraded replacement, if you know how to solder.

Kana813-I can solder.
What brand cap would you recommend and where can I get one?
Thank you-
