For two years, I am now looking for a CD player with a twist. This should mean great SONY SCD XB790 QS replace in the CD section. SACD should the Sony continue are reserved. In the two years I have heard a number of players to 2000. Current but older models. Many manufacturers have their own sound philosophy and in the regions from 1000, there is no real difference more concerning the sound quality. Under this brand but already. Here insert the pressures of the market. Here is tough calculated. The 700 is now no means of subsidized players like the 790er of SONY. The one wanted namely that time screw the lean SACD sales figures upwards. Does not work. But the buyer got for a device 450 that loose in the high-end rating of the magazine AUDIO marched and for many years remained there. Yamaha had their last coup in hi-fi components mid-90s. After that there was only at the high end AV receivers. After it no longer went there full steam, was remembered in the great hi-tradition. Market research has been conducted. If one were able to revive the Yamaha hi-fi and high-end tradition? A piece of the resurgent Can back Hifi market? And then the bombshell came with the 2000 series in 2008! The Comeback succeeded. Once you have created hereby a reference product, followed six months later, the 1000s. Another six months then the 700 middle class. And, each series its own musical character. Yamaha always sets yes on an airy and clear Sound. Therefore one must strive to the company's philosophy. Finally, Yamaha's one of the leading manufacturers of Grand pianos and other keyboard instruments. The emphasis here is clearly on the classical side of music. The 2000 series has here clearly in the lead. The 1000s are tuned to jazz and blues and are my SONY very similar. The 700s are probably more for electronic music and ringing with USB the new time. I would like to once again emphasize: the 700 has nothing in common with the 1000s and 2000s. The drive is also not the same as some people think. The load is no aluminum. The transformer is also smaller than in the 1000s and the 2000s has an additional ring core. There are also no balanced circuits and a DA converter must meet. Still it's not Billigheimer, is carefully finished and has the same clean design of its big brothers, and focuses on the essential: the music!
Conclusion:
Those looking for the real Yamahaklang which is hassle free for addictive nature, takes one of the last 1000s or 2000s. Especially since these discontinued models can be had cheaper high quality at the time. Because Yamaha has picked up speed with the successor models 2100 and 3000th The (unfortunately!) No longer be in the budget of a normal earner.
