Marantz SA-10 arriving Monday!

I've been hearing and reading all I can about this player during this last year. I have a 6005 right now and it's a nice player but not as good as my analog rig (10k) so it's not a fair comparison. Elizabeth mentioned that her SA-10 is better than her analog. I will be comparing the 2 SACD players side by side. I have at least 3 CD's in which I have duplicates. I'm fascinated about how the circuitry upsamples to DSD SACD. Well not exactly but somehow an improvement over Redbook CD. I have a 2" thick maple block coming in the same day for it. It's going to be a long weekend. I know it can't work miracles on all CD's. If there is jitter in the recording then supposedly you will never get that out. Speak up if I'm wrong about that.

bluerangerMuch Thanks! for providing your thoughts/impressions on the SA-10.The hope lies in Marantz learning from Sony/Philips on "not" what to do on their Reference spinners. Keep all marketing tactics in place for entry, mid and highest end players.
Additionally, reach out and touch this company w/ an email or phone call expressing your pleasure with their Digital products. Inquire about their intentions to stock essential/critical parts as well.

Happy Listening!

Excellent! bluerangera new cable or power cord can have that kind of effect (could not listen during the break-in) until it settles into one's system. You are fortunate to own the SA-10.  Staying tuned...

Happy Listening!

talk about the musical selections used to test the SA-10 as you massage this beauty into your system.  Give it 200 hours then start comparing it to the 6005.  Staying tuned...

Sweet! blueranger
take your time breaking it into your system. I am really looking forward to your thoughts, impressions on the SA-10. Additionally, it is nice to have a second spinner, the SA 8005, for a little shoot-out fun.
Staying Tuned.

Thank You- blueranger

for the update. Elizabeth is a strong resource for this player, as not many people, have auditioned/owned it.  I look forward in reading more about this player as you massage into your system.  I am trying to find a demo myself.


Happy Listening!
