| The best CD Player for the money Marantz sa8004. Excellent! ! | |
| Which makes more sense? - CD player vs SACD I second Cmalak on the Marantz SA8004. It sounds excellent for SACD, CD, and streaming Logitech Touch FLAC. It is the digital swiss army knife. I have found no shortcomings with it sonically speaking. I can't wait until I can get a chance to liste... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? When I have tried passives in the past I have had negative results. This is the first time for a very positive one. I suppose I have been too hasty in my previous dismissal of passive as an effective volume control--harumppph! | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? whoops..stupid droidx autocomplete...Macrodynamic = Microdynamic.George: regarding the matching, is it a single channel's series/shunt pair that should be macthed, or the left/right series and left/right shunt? | |

| PS Audio DAC iii and Marantz SA 8100 CD Player Ya I know! You can't stream sbox to 8001. Need 8004 or sa15 for that. Sbox into ps audio via optical was best connection for me.

| PS Audio DAC iii and Marantz SA 8100 CD Player Sa8001 is excellent . Going to be a different sound. Not necessarily better. | |
| Used players better than $1.2K 13 yr old player? Regarding supposed oppo break-in: sorry but 500 to 700 hours is too long a time for such limited time we have. Ridiculous. Pass! | |

Back when Michael was owner I was in high school and eventually bought an Adcom GFA 555MKII and Theta Pro Prime II. Michael was nice to put up with me and... | |

| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Hi George. Thanks for the suggestion. Somewhere I have the schematic for the 8002. Ill take a look. Have you considered creating potted drop-in attenuators so that folks could upgrade their current preamps if so desired? For instance say I have fo... |
