| Marantz SA-10 arriving Monday! I usually purchase the sacd's if the price gap isn't too great. They do sound better, not vastly better, but noticeable. | |
| Marantz SA-10 arriving Monday! For newer classical listeners the "Living Stereo" sacd of the Brahms and Tchaikovsky violin concertos with Heifetz and the Chicago Symphony is hard to beat. An old recording with the classic three neumann microphone technique. It sounds wonderfu... | |
