Marantz SA-10 arriving Monday!

@stereo-one , actually I am the one who was inquiring about the SA10,phase setting when connected to a SLP 05.  I read your reply, thank you.  I got into my SLP05 manual (again) and my bad--on page 11 it clearly staes that pin 2 is hot.  So I am going to switch the phase setting on my Marantz back to 'normal.'  Thanks again for that.

But as far as speaking a tech guy from Cary on the telephone, that was in the old days which I remember fondly.  Now who ever answers the phone will tell you to email tech support, and my experience has been they are in no big hurry to reply to emails.

bass traps can thin out the sounds, and push highs forward, mids also. 120V is the setting to use if you have a PS audio regenerator anything below that like110 sounds thin. 

There's a non sequitur if I ever saw one...and seven years later at that!

@stereo-one I have the McIntosh MCD600 SACD/CD player and can recommend you give it a listen if you are wanting a warm sound, like I do. I've had mine for about a year or so and prefer it over my Luxman 03X and OPPO 103. 

When I want something that sounds like vinyl, I use vinyl. But I'm just funny that way...
