I heard the Marantz SA-7S1 for the first time a few days ago. It was very detailed, but did not seem to strip anything away in the process. Yes, it was musical, very impressive w/ vocals. I am using the EAR Acute, which also has IMO a tonality that is right to my ears. The SA-7S1 is now clearly one that I would seek out to try in my system next. The AMR CD-77 is also on my hit list. Well, now we have covered most of the CDP's that use the # 7.
