Lots of detail, great imaging, not much bass?
Alright B_limo,The "low bass?" confused me.For less bass, you are all set with the amp/pre-amp/source.Just get any pair of speaker between 82-88 db sensitivity and you should achieve the goal you are looking for.

AudiozenWhich player did you end up buying?

B_limo,We are again coming back to the "gain" topic. Trust me, I have seen what gain can do and why people complain about dull, lifeless music with passives. Once you balance the system with the right gain, you will be thoroughly rewarded with gre...

Bvdiman, sorry, I only sell ton. No kgs. That is low volume :-) 
Lots of detail, great imaging, not much bass?
B_limo,I was out the rest of the weekend and could not reply earlier. I have exactly understood your question. But since I have gone through the same experience, I still feel that it is the "gain" you are missing. A good gain makes "night" and "da...

B_limo,You might want to check if you have enough gain in the system because of a passive volume control. The next speakers that you get should have a sensitivity rating of at least 90+db.I faced this issue when I introduced the Promitheus TVC in ...

Nonoise,I am glad to hear that you love your new player. And than you for the un-audiophile review. Ultimately it is the musical satisfaction that matters than the price of the player. And that player is also a nice DAC. So you are covered on the ...

From the following interview it looks like the "SA-11S3 was supposed to be the SA-7S2".Original Japanese versionTranslated English version

Nonoise,I am a disc spinner as well. I will look at the Marantz SA-11S3 when the time comes. I only hope that Marantz comes up with a firmware update on their USB capable SACD players so that they are able to play DSD via USB. I know that their la...

Congratulations Nonoise. Please post your listening experience with the new player. Do you plan to use the Optical/Co-ax INs for HiRez music? 
Preamp for Parasound A21?
Agm,i you get a passive pre-amp or TVC with a XLR out to A21, you will have more than enough gain in the system. The reason is that the 2.4V from the Quad CDP will be seen as 4.8V on XLR to A21. This made a HUGE difference in dynamics in my system... 
Preamp for Parasound A21?
What do you have for source? If the source can output more than 2V, then I would suggest a Passive or TVC route. The A21 is a very sensitive and I have been successful using a TVC in my system. TVCs are very transparent and the basic ones do not c...
