Marantz SA-7S1 filters and noise shaper
For SACD use Filter 1. Red book I use either Filter 2 or 3 depending on the CD. I don't use noise shaper. If it is a new player it will sound it's best after a few hundred hours. Enjoy ,it is an excellent player. 
Which preamp Dodd or Cary slp-98L

looking for new speakers $2 to $3K
For the money the Salk Songtowers are a very good choice.

No problem, Zachzdb I had an imbalance problem which Kevin fixed quickly. My Sauvignon is dead quiet and works perfectly, with rolled tubes it sounds wonderful. Good Luck, Kevin's work is very good, if there is a problem he will fix it as good as ...
