Marantz SA-10 arriving Monday!


I've been hearing and reading all I can about this player during this last year. I have a 6005 right now and it's a nice player but not as good as my analog rig (10k) so it's not a fair comparison. Elizabeth mentioned that her SA-10 is better than her analog. I will be comparing the 2 SACD players side by side. I have at least 3 CD's in which I have duplicates. I'm fascinated about how the circuitry upsamples to DSD SACD. Well not exactly but somehow an improvement over Redbook CD. I have a 2" thick maple block coming in the same day for it. It's going to be a long weekend. I know it can't work miracles on all CD's. If there is jitter in the recording then supposedly you will never get that out. Speak up if I'm wrong about that.

Hey you can get the  champagne color. There is some on eBay from Japan. However after I looked into it decided it wasn't a good idea. The Japanese electric paradigm is 110 and the electronics there are made for that. We are on 120. The electronics would not be stable in our system or they  could be damaged. I read its a small chance but a chance I don't want to take. 
@honeybee2012  I agree!  I inquired about the color issue but was just told that it was for the overseas market.  ugh.

do you have  any details on the kind of repair(s)/refurbishing performed on your SA-10 ?


Happy Listening!

Many so called refurbished products are simply products that may have been returned for whatever reason, but cannot be sold as new.  I would have no problem buying a factory-refurbished product as long as it came with a decent factory warranty.
