@ptss I don’t own one but, I’ve heard it a few times and will do so again soon; In an all Spectral system it was breathtaking for redbook CD playback. I had no idea rebook CD could sound that good.
@mdp632. Thanks. Very interesting when another thread is asking if CD is dead. Spectral is a leading edge player, and costly,but I believe others will improve soon. Computing speed and horsepower combined with manufacturing refinements should yield great improvements in the near future. I feel Graphene creates interesting possibilities for fine electronics.
Shipping tomorrow, get it next week, took longer than expected. Will post when I get it. My system is spectral pre and cd, soulution mono amps, Magico M3s. Hope the new CD player will sound great 👍
Finally got it, what a killer player! Very pleased. I’m using the new MIT heritage 2c3d level 1 cables, I’m told they are pretty close to the new top of line oracle. I use these same series cables for all of my speaker and ICs, love them.
@wardl Congrats on the SV ; its an amazing digital source. Regardless of it only being a redbook CD player. Can you imagine when and if Spectral releases a separate DAC in the future. Btw; yes the 2C3D line of cables are the new Spectral Ultralinear series IV.
To the SV owners in this thread. Did you cross shop and or compare the 4000SV to another disc player/ digital source before purchasing? If so, what brands/models did you consider?
Yes. I've heard DCS (stack), Esoteric, MSB, Reimyo, EMM Labs, CH Precision, Zanden--although only Esoteric and BelCanto in my system. For redbook, I prefer Spectral.
