Price Paid:
$1100.00
from Sony Riyadh Saudy Ar Summary:
I agree that it is an outstandig major componant to the system as sound quality and it realy controls your A\V system to its best hights, but if you are a HIGH END Audophile this unit is not for you.
IMPORTANT:It is perfect with sattlite digital recievers It wil change your life stile ...endless high qualith intertanment Strengths:
perfect marriage with top quality sattlite digital recievers like Humax 5400 Weaknesses:
too fragile to connect and reconnect can cause damage to digital transistors that causes sound like bulet shot in speakers when changing sources(will need simple repair) be carefull. Similar Products Used:
It sounds better than th 2000 models

Review 2 of 13
Price Paid:
$120.00
from Ebay Summary:
I used to be an audiophile, limited
to only two channels... Then I've found
a surround digital preamplifier on Ebay
called Sony,TA-E1000ESD. At this time
I didn't knew the existence of this
wonderful site (audioreview), and decided to buy this preamplifier without knowing anything on its performances. But I had only a two channel amplifier: a Harman-Kardon Citation. I had to buy 4 additional channels then i bought two ROTEL RB/951 on Ebay (120 Euros each).one for the rear channels, one for the center and the subwoofer.
And then i finally discover what a really
good surround system is. The sound is clear, and the preamplifier allows lot of
possibility (usually standard in sony
systems). The only thing I regret is the remote: it does everything (perhaps too much), but hard to use (every button are the same...). I can't believe anyone who
can change of input without looking at
this *** remote... Then i found a solution, I bought a JBL TC1000... Strengths:
Good quality materials, solid building
good sound (2 or 6 channels) Weaknesses:
Not digital, only surround but very good quality surround...

Review 3 of 13
Price Paid:
$650.00
from Girne (Kyrenia) / No Summary:
First of all this unit is best with digital connections. It has 2 optical & 1 coaxial inputs and 1 optical rec out. When increasing eq. by +12dB with it''s 3 separate adjustment bands, there is no noticable harmonic distortion. But if you do that with analog RCA connections a little distortion is audible. Surround processing is really good, tastes real, not artificial. You can turn on/off all your home system and control power amplifier, CD player, Dat or Minidisc with this unit if you have its ''Countries other than Europe'' model with 3 switched 540 watts and 1 unswithed 300 watts connections. European model has 1 switched 540 watts only but practically this is no problem with extra electric plugs. Comparing TA-E1000ESD with TA-E2000ESD reveals the TA-E1000ESD''s richness. TA-E1000ESD has extra analog front panel adjustment knobs, has 3 mode digital input leds on the front for 32,44.1,48kHz sampling modes and has cable based remote control connections at the back. There is another model called TA-E1000ES which is an inferior model of TA-E1000ESD. It lacks golden RCA inputs, lacks aluminium front panel and sounds slimmer than TA-E1000ESD. I am using this pre-amplifier with its complement TA-N220 which is a 4 channel power amplifier, so I can hear the real surrond processing details that the control amplifier gives. Strengths:
Very good design, perfect with digital inputs, richest surround processing at its cathegory, can control everything with its learning remote control. Weaknesses:
A little bit distorsion audible with analog inputs when equaliser is in full power. Similar Products Used:
TA-E2000ESD and TA-E1000ES.
