john

well on the May 24 wknd i sent a Marantz DV-9600(new)aross the boader for a mod and got it back 6wks later not working....i did not send it back for the modders warranty because i lost trust due to email accusations.
It is thanks giving here in ontario and I still have no player.....
this is a MODIFICATION NIGHTMARE!

it is with a valid fully authorized warranty repair shop,and the parts needed are a bugger to get,not sure what caused the problem yet

its not hot thanks,

first off:That was what i had in mind,a good SACD,DVD and 2ch player,since the player was new(not hot as the modifier states,he was pulled off of audiogon years ago and recently shut down at audio circle for repeated threats..and me also(by the way if you read this DS,my lawyer is Denny Crane of Crane,Poole,and Schmit)
So far i have learned that there is no,absolutely no difference in any digital(audio and video) relm and for the few hours i had it hooked up the anolog did sound more forward(but the left side was distorted)and i was comparing to a Denon 2930ci,not exactly fair.I have also learned that unless you buy a new out this year model of marantz and denon,good luck with parts.
I am sure you will hear a blaze of words ahead but it is typical.
i do hope it is worth the wait????????
PS...oh yes lets blame shipping for everything and then try filing a claim with the postal service to a totaly physically undamaged player?
