WHAT'S UP WITH MARANTZ?


Just discovered that Marantz only offers black colored equipment in the US. (North America)
What happened to the classic champagne color?

Was going to buy the new reference 10 SACD player.   For apx $7K you would think that they would offer more options than black!

No sale.

Anyone actually compared Marantz SA-10 to their older ref. players like SA7S1, SA-1 or CD-7 ?

P.S. Personally I don`t like the SA-11 look of SA-10. Seems the newer, the more options, bur lesser quality.
jmcgrogan2,

Absolutely agree!
I had several Esoteric players/combos over the years. Yep, the transport work is probably the best available (at least theoretically), but they`re missing something.... The output of all I A/B compared will clearly fail compared to my Marantz SA-1 or SA7S1.

P.S. Nope, Esoteric is not clinical or too hot on top. SA-1 Actually sounds much cleaner, without being boring and non dynamic as most Esoteric digital gear is.

Just my 2c.
