@jayctoy, you got less than 3 1/2 years out of the Marantz SA10? My Esoteric UX3 which I purchased as an “exhibition stock” in 2012 and is used at least 250 days a year for over 12 years has no such problems. They both cost around the same, in the $8500.00 price range. I wonder if it’s because Esoteric builds their own mechanisms?
Thoughts/Opinions on Technics SL-G700M2 CD/SACD Player
Looking for any current owners that have bought this CD/SACD Player that can comment on its sound quality, reliability, ease of use, etc. for playing cd's, sacd's, hybrid sacd's, not looking for any input on its streaming capability currently, just playing 2 channel stereo.
