| So, a reviewer just said something I need to talk about. For me the brilliance of the musician is why I listen- His music, execution, cleverness of the delivery- all these are the "hooks" that pull me in. I'd go along with that . . . and I think that maybe most people would. But if the recording doe... | |
| A stupid question(s) about power cords but what am I missing? If certain recordings do not make you consider the (mental and/or physical) health of the artist, perhaps you are not truly engaging with that artist or that performance. Sorry for not being gentle with my words. | |
| So, a reviewer just said something I need to talk about. What about the engagement between the listener and the musician. If I am not actually there at the live event, it is the quality of the recording and the quality of the system that the recording played back on, that dictate the level of my enga... | |
| A stupid question(s) about power cords I listen to Clapton because of his guitar playing, and his voice. I do not sit there analyzing his health conditions during the making of a particular recording. Then maybe, @mrdecibel , you are missing something, because an artist's health (m... | |
| Recommendations for really well-recorded music for high-end audio system demo . . . since I bought a SACD player, I have found some of the Dire Straits SACDs to sound fantastic, and I assume that by streaming you are listening to at least the same quality DSD if not better? From Love Over Gold, Telegraph Road about took my ... | |
| Surge protector If you have two spare slots in your main panel, I'd recommend you consider having an electrician install a whole house surge protector. If you don't have two spares, they still can work around that, it's a bit more expensive. @ejr1953 , does ... | |
| Marantz SA10 sacd player The SA 10 shines with balance output as well. I am using the balanced outs to my preamp. | |
| Recommendations for really well-recorded music for high-end audio system demo I especially enjoy two Cowboy Junkies Cds that made it to SACD, but I assume you are streaming. The Trinity Sessions (the SACD was Analogue Productions) and although their cover of Sweet Jane (off that disc) is what turned me on to the CJ, I suppo... | |

| Marantz SA10 sacd player EDIT: I don’t know George Meyer’s service policy for out of warranty Marantz components. Give them a call. Just did a google on them. In the need arises, I will keep them in mind. Thanks. | |
| Marantz SA10 sacd player @tvad , will George Meyer work on out of warranty SA10s? | |
| Marantz SA10 sacd player I’d have to look to be sure, but I think I got mine in the summer of ’20 and I’ve only had two anomaly’s. I bought a used red book MFSL copy of Linda Ronstadt/Simple Dreams on ebay and it would not recognize it. My previous red book Rega transport... | |
| Do you past equipment appear in your dreams? I cannot recall any dreams about audio equipment, but I seldom remember my dreams very long. Usually I forget them shortly after I wake up. I do have recurring dreams about a great job/career I used to have, and last night or this morning I had... | |
| Marantz SA10 sacd player . . . I remember a few years ago on Audio Asylum some one posted a thread about an issue he was having with the transport mechanism with an SA10. I cannot remember exactly what was going on--I think that either it would not open or close. I was ... | |
| My new B Stock speakers Speaker break in may be turning me into a fan of classical music. I started out a five hour plus change session to day with disc one (of three) of the Sheffield Labs Moscow Sessions. I found myself actually getting into it. |
