Sony SCD-1 Filters

Has anyone experimented with the SCD-1 filters with any interesting results?

Which filter setting would you recommend?

It's difficult to see how filtering out audible frequencies can be considered more musical. Unless perhaps Robm321 is not employing decent or better line conditioners and/or perhaps has issues with ics and speaker cables. Shortly after receiving my SCD-1 about 3 and 1/2 years ago, I experimented with the different settings. And perhaps once or twice since then. In every case I've enjoyed the standard setting more than any of the cutoff filter settings. -IMO

The other 4 filters are not. I prefer the filters 1 through 4. I find that the different filters suit different types of music. To my ears the number 1 filter is the most like the standard filter without the sharp rolloff. Just my opinion. I am sure every person will hear something different. I just like having the choices.
