Nordostman, the difference here ( if you get the Sony 9000 or somehting like it ) is that if SACD fails you still have a great DVD player and pretty good CD playback. At this price you aren't really loosing anything.
Marantz SA-1 SACD player....worth it ?
On market for a SACD player...maybe. Marantz SA-1 SACD retails for $7500 , can get one brand new from a local dealer for $4750. Is it worth it? Or better off with a Sony? Or should I just wait since I have zero super audio CDs and 12000 CDs. Thank you for the input.
