@nonoise Yes Andrew Robinson is a fraud. Honestly I don't know why anyone would review contemporary Marantz gear in the audiophile category. It's cheap mass produced, mass market stuff

Let's see.  My Marantz Ruby SACD player weighs in at 30#!  The build quality is superb.  Not sure what Marantz gear you have taken apart recently to examine but you could not be more off the mark with this ridiculous comment.

If you've been to an audio show (like the one in the DC area a couple of weeks ago), this shouldn't be a surprise.

Companies, especially dealers contributed to the decline of the audio industry. Dealers most of them don’t have the interest to entertain young people to get into this hobby. They want money right away, you have to plant to harvest.Online stores are good for experience audiophile not for newbie .Yes pricing contributed too.

Corelli I agree with you. Marantz SA 10 and Ruby sacd players will show they are not mass produced and they are well built and design. They sound amazing too.Only problem Marantz don’t have support post warranty.Now that Ken is gone , probably they won’t be as good.This 2 units belong to hi end category. Maybe the one that was reviewed is not.

@mahler123

Apple makes more money on Ear Buds than the entire commercial speaker market.

Is this true or were you illiterating our senescence and encouraging obsolescence?

Just maybe high end hifi will make a come back as, despite the apple watch, the luxury watch world has life anew.

The tonic of music is a given. There’s that too.

Often I see a very nice car inside a mall, airport or store. Imagine if audio displays were scattered about in such a way. Once music is heard in such an indelible way the hook goes in.
