Thank You for the update. Power conditioner/regenerator(s) can limit dynamics.

Thank You for the follow on as above. May all of our spinners last a long, long, time via OEM parts and service.

phillyb
incredible that you had troubles w/ the Esoteric X1 and K-01? Sony, as a corporation, should have a state-of-the-art Spinner in the marketplace 2019 moving forward. New blood and/or changing of the guard, I supose.

Thank You for sharing your impression/thought on the SA-10. What other gear including cabling rounds out the system? Happy Listening!

blueranger
How ya doin' out there? I wanted to update you for a change- I could not find a SA-10 here in the Southeast U.S., I purchased an Ayre DX-5 spinner.To my ears, the CD and SACD playback are superb. It is an easy endeavor matching to Ayre Twenty Series gear as well.

I am hip to the idea of not selling one's CD or LP collection. It is a beautifully engineered player to be sure. Happy Listening! |
Elizabeth
I agree- a Reference CD/SACD player should be considered and respected as a gateway product. Happy Listening!

Does your SA-10 continue to bloom within your system?

blueranger
just checking in for an update. Are you still discovering sonic differences w/ your SA-10 ?
Happy Listening! |
glupson
Thank You for the follow up. Agreed, each "new" pressing will have a different mastering (tinkering) for better or worse. Columbia will put their house sound on each issue as well as MoFi. Compression is a consideration also.
Happy Listening! |
Thank You- elizabeth and gulpson.
|
blueranger and elizabeth
if you have a title on SL and Hybrid test for any discernible difference(s)?
Happy Listening!
|
elizabethThank You for chiming in. The single layer (SL) SACD will only use its designated laser. The hybrid will use both CD and SACD lazer(s) per design. Those early SACD titles were sourced closer to the master tapes.Once the hybrids came onto the scene, remastering/remixing, became common practice. As GK reports above, usually means more compression.
Happy Listening!
|
blueranger Thanks! for sharing some of your fave discs. Are you playing single-layer SACD titles as well? I would be interested in reading about comparisons between SL and Hybrid (cd plus sacd layer) selections.
Happy Listening! |
vassilis_t Thank You for sharing your purchase experience w/ the SA-10. My closest area, Atlanta, does not have one for audition. The search continues... Happy Listening! |
bluerangerMarantz players are solidly built, even the lower-tiered models.Agreed, that some components do need a little damping material help.
What are some of your fave CD or SACD titles spun though the SA-10?
Happy Listening!

blueranger
Thank You. Over 1000 hours, your player is fully broken-in. Enjoy the Music.
Happy Listening! |
blueranger

bluerangerThank You for the continued updating regarding the SA-10. Long live this spinner in the Marantz arsenal. Happy Listening!

blueranger-
how ya doin' out there? How many hours are on the SA-10 now?
Happy Listening!

Summer is notorious for sucking dry our energy across the U.S.A. due the excessive heat. The same can be said for Winter sucking dry our energy for excessive cold. Spring and Fall seems to be the middle ground, systems sound better due to less energy demands.
Good to read that your SA-10 is settling into the system.
Happy Listening! |
blueranger
Good to read that you are enjoying the break-in period. How many hours are logged now-
Happy Listening! |
blueranger
Hope you are recovering well and enjoying the music on your SA-10. Tell me about the latest hours on your player. Happy Listening! |
blueranger
Thank You for the update. After 200 hours the player will really open up and sing. It only gets better from here. Hope you are well and make a full recovery soon. Looking forward to your next incremental update.
Happy Listening! |
blueranger
Thanks! for sharing. Have you reached the 200-hour mark?
Happy Listening!

2nd Note;
feel free to list your system gear, like Elizabeth, so that those of us who search for a demo can have a running list of brands that are sonic matches with this very special player. Due to its price, there will be a limited audience and or interest from the majority of the audiophile community. Additionally, there is a small niche' of us who own massive CD, SACD collections that continue to grow every year. This is not a bad thing at all.
Happy Listening! |
blueranger et al.,
I look forward in reading all of the wonderful details and experiences from you guys, gals, that own this spinner until I can score an audition.
Staying tuned...
Happy Listening! |
blueranger
Thanks! for sharing. I am looking forward in reading more as you accrue several more hundred hours on this player.
Happy Listening! |
blueranger
have you reached the 1st 100-hour mark of listening time

another +vote for those Telarc CD and SACD titles directly recorded in DSD. Happy Listening! |
I hear ya! elizabeth
I fell in love with Jazz about 15 years ago. Never looked back.
I still enjoy Pop, Rock and came from the Hard Rock, Metal camp as well.
Quite a few parallels between Jazz and Metal, if you listen close enough. |
elizabeth
Precisely! Happy Listening!

elizabeth
Thank You for your continued thoughts/impressions on the SA-10 as well.I am still trying to find an audition in my immediate area, the Southeast U.S.
