OK folks your posts are very informative! So I want my new SACD player to equal fedelity on SACD's.
Question is which oneof the folowing excels on RedBook CD's.
Marantz SA-15S2 or,
Sony SCD-XA5400ES or,
Marantz SA-11 S1

I can find any of these at my price point but I am sooo confused as two which one will be the best!
A note on my listening preferences. I Like
Great clerity
Great imaging and staging
Full, rich and tight bottom end.

Sorry ladies (grin)

Please yall help me ok?

Cheers!

You can't go wrong with any of those - if any are local purchase that might sway my decision.

I have the Marantz SA-15s1 (one step below the SAs1 and replaced by the 15s2) and it's out of this world. It plays everything and is built like a tank.

Great! do you know what was changed from the 15S1 to the 15S2?
I should be able to ghrab an S1 at a real great price.

OK just FYI I pulled the trigger on the Sony. Lets hope it performs up to expectations! I have read that it can take up to 500 hours to burn in! Gees Louise, I suppose sometime next year I will be enjoying the full benefits LOL!
Cheer!
