Tweaking a lower end SACD player tips


I have a Sony 1 disc SCDXE-670.
This unit was released to the European and Canadian markets only.
It retailed for $400.00
I recently borrowed a friends SCD-555ES and the difference in sound quality was suprisingly small.
I have considered mods but have decided not to.
I will start with lining the internal cover area with damping material.The player is sitting on sorbothane "little feet"
I would like to put a heavier ga.cord on it,but opening it up,I've noticed the cord wires go into a plug like thing that plugs into something else.I tried unplugging it but its snug and Im afraid I will damage it.If I cut the original cord and splice a better cord,would that be ok? I want to damp the tray also but need advice.Any other tweaks? Thanks!

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