Ok. I'm going to talk with my radio. Modern HIFI, such as CDs, amps, speakers, are all garbage. But every year people think the sound quality is improving because they can't correctly distinguish the subtle sound quality. Most people are just messing around, so the sound gets worse and worse. I …

Ok. I'm going to talk with my radio. It’s normal for most people not to hear small differences, (But replacing the power cord for the SC8850 is not a small difference. The original cord sucks.) but you can definitely hear the difference between a CD player from the 1980s and a modern CD player. The …

The thickness of the copper wire and the plastic cover of the wire affect the sound quality, but most people don't need to pay attention to these, they only need to pay attention to the sound difference I'm sorry, but I've two bad news for ya. First one: The thickness of the copper wire in the …

Does this cable has current flow direction? :D The thickness of the copper wire and the plastic cover of the wire affect the sound quality, materials have a great impact to sound, the principle is similar to a musical instrument But most people don't need to pay attention to these, they only need …

aah I see we found the audiophile. still, you can do better, you need a mogami gold nitrogen infused pure copper 1 million strand cable! Only then will it be suuuuuper smooth and suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuper sweet. It would be like have Tom Lord-Alge on your left and right ear, constantly mixing to …

I always felt that the sound of SC8850 was not as good as that of SC88Pro. I thought it was because SC8850 used a switching power supply. After replacing it with a Cable Creation power cord, the sound became smoother and sweeter. Now the sound is as good as SC88Pro, if not better. Played by SC8850: …

There's a slight difference in the sound, the one on the left is a little smoother, but I don't think anyone cares.

The sound of SC8850/8820 are not as good as SC55/88/88Pro, don't buy them just because of their bigger model number.. I think that's rather subjective. I own an Sc55mk2 and an 8820 and in most things arranged for 55/88 the standard mode of the 8820 is actually very, very good and clearly higher …

I'm not sure about SC-D70, but SC8850 uses switching power supply, a 100V sc8850 can be directly plugged into 220V outlet
