Вот у буржуев как то всё проще - и дерьма стока не летит




Hi Guys,
Well just as a follow up, I received my ShengYa S-10CS direct from the factory in China on Thursday (DHL cleared it through Aussie customs for me). The player is built like a tank! It arrived with no damage and is very attractive when you power it up and the valve starts to glow in the front window. Ok, how does it sound? Well, as I said below I already have a Rotel RCD-1072 which I love the detail but lacks a little in the muscial department (can sound a little bright on bad recording), and the NAD C542 which has good bass as is quite musical, but a little more detail would not go astray. Well the S-10CS seems to have the best of both these players. It is detailed (without ever being bright, due to its valves I assume), a warm musically midrange, solid bass and oh so smooth sounding. It also seems to create a much larger sound stage than the other two players. Needless to say, I`m very happy with the purchase Best of all, I got the player for a 1/3 of its price here in Australia.

cheers,
Stephen

Hi Guys,
This is a very interesting discussion, I have the RCD-1072, NAD C542 and a Yamaha 396 (I kind of collect CD players, so my wife says ) The 1072 and C542 are both outstanding players for their price point. For anyone looking for a good sub $1000 CD player, it hard to look past these units. If you are going to spend big dollars on a CD player just be sure that you are paying for the components inside the unit and not just dealer mark up. Case in point, there is a CD player here in Oz called a Vincent CD-S6 (Vincent is German) its a valve hybrid CD player that costs $2500. In fact its a Shengya A-10CS that`s made in China for Vincent. I`ve just ordered one directly from the Chinese factory (via a US dealer) for $800. While this is risky (no warranty), I can`t stand the fact that I`m paying $1700 is dealer charges! I`ll post how this experiment turns out on the Audio Hideout forum.

cheers,
Stephen
