Sony STRDA3000ES Price Question
« on: November 19, 2005, 02:19:32 PM »
I have never put ANYTHING into a playback system EVER.  My theory has always been, "Make the best recordings that you can and when you are old and cannot move or leave the house dump loot into a playback system and enjoy." 

Well, I am thinking about how I would like to start slow and was wondering if $410 shipped was a decent price for the unit listed above.

Bueller?

If you didn't drop the dime it looks like you might be too late.  They appear to be GONE.  I do still see some 7100ES's for $2k and some 3100ES's for $999 though.

sheeeeit!!! Just my luck!

the 3100 doesn't have the "mojo" though.  so its not a contender.

what makes the ES amps so good is the S-Master pro chip and signal path.
this was dropped in the new line on all units except the 7100 and 9100.

more power.  Doug says the 7100 sounds better than the old 9000es.  fwiw...
i've heard neither, so I cant say.
i'd venture to guess "better".  :)

"Make the best recordings that you can and when you are old and cannot move or leave the house dump loot into a playback system and enjoy." 

it's awfully hard to judge the quality of your tapes when you don't have adaquete playback

good call on putting money into playback :)

re -24/96 playback.  I believe a lot of dvd players downsample to 24/48.  You might be a lot better off digitally feeding the strda3000es from a pc.  Enjoy!
