Description

I've built this system after a number of years and a lot of trial and error. After going through many modern tube and solid state integrateds in the $1k -$3k range the Scott came around and really amazed me with it's bandwidth and musicality.

The cables and tweaks all help the sytem reach it's full potential bringingout a very open and transparent sound.

The Vecteur is the latest addition and it is quite a player. Excellent extension at the frequency extremes and very transparent and accurate sounding.

The centerpiece of my system really are the Carolina Audio Speakers.. They really have to be heard to be believed. They disappear with an amazing coherence from top to bottom. Fantastic accurate bass. Simply the best speaker I have heard.

The system throw a wide and deep soundtage with excellent dynamics and tonal accuracy. I couldn't be happier.

Chelillingworth,
I am considering an upgrade to my CD player and was wondering just how good the Vecteur really is. I have a stock Sony 9000ES which I use for Cd,SACD and DVD now. It sound good but everyone tells me to get the best in CD sound I need another player. I have built a nice system with VAndersteen 5 speakers, Sim Audio amp and PSE tube pre-amp. How good is this player what have you compared it against? How was your Sony modified and by how much does the Vecteur beat it? Thanks for any help you can give me.
