Had an SA-10 when they first came out and loved it. At the time many of the Sony execs owned them. All good until it quit... as almost any mechanical item might when it wears out. No parts available and big money to repair. Not wanting to spend the money for the SA-15 for a system I now seldom use; as I mostly stream with a dCS Bartok. I replaced it with the N30 to have the ability to play my SACDs. It's DAC is very nice for those discs... a mostly Japanese talent. For CDs, I output the N30 via SPIDIF to the Bartok for decoding.
Marantz cd players
Looking for some advice on a possible purchase I’m planning.
I have been presented with a few good deals on a couple of different Marantz cd players.
1. Is a Marantz sa-10
2. Is a Marantz ki-ruby
3 is a Marantz sa-30
Looking for the pros and cons and the benefits of each one over the other.
I am looking at the Marantz brand because I am Familiar with the brand and something I have always had good luck with.
Thanks for the help/advice
