How do any of you like the sound of the SA11S1? can you make any comparisons to other units? The TAS review was pretty positive about this player, even calling it better than the XA9000ES
Marantz SA-11S1 and transport noise.
I just received my Marantz SA-11S1. The first thing which I recognized is the rather loud noise which comes from the transport/laser when I play a SACD/CD. I was wondering if this is normal. I have an older Sony which is dead quiet. Perhaps this is normal with the newer units.
