| Sony SCD-XA5400ES-Best SACD for under $10,000 Well said Mcondon. I like how he asks why we cant " stay on point " after he cuts and pastes 5 pages about Swiss watches! He also said he does not judge, than slams the entire country of Malaysia! Oh well, at least he LOVES HIS MUSIC! | |

| Sony SCD-XA5400ES-Best SACD for under $10,000 Bjpd57, why do you find it necessary to abuse capitol letters? We LOVE our music TOO , but we don't SHOUT about it. Lighten UP! Also , I would be suspect of your ability to critically evaluate a source product given your rather unorthodox setup, i... | |

| Marantz SC 11 S1 Pre amp So far,I'm impressed. It isnt broken in yet, but i'm really impressed with the amount of fine detail it presents. It does not sound "solid state", tho it is a little "drier" than my tube pre. The soundstage is not as wide,but again, it is still br... | |
| Marantz SC 11 S1 Pre amp Thanks for the input Zormi. I am surprised that no one here seems to have any experience with either of these. I recently purchased the Sc 11 s1 and am just now getting a chance to use it. | |

| Sony SCD-XA5400ES-Best SACD for under $10,000 Mrtennis: if you " understand the redbook section is no big deal" I think you've been mis-led. As previous posters noted, it does "draw you in". I find myself listening to entire discs from start to finish rather than constantly jumping up to swit... | |
| Sony SCD-XA5400ES-Best SACD for under $10,000 I think its great on both formats. On redbook it is detailed but never fatiguing,with nice extension at both ends. I dont own alot of sacd's,but I am now buying them at quite a clip! The remastered sacd of Dire Straits "Brothers In Arms " even got... |
