Marantz SA-1 holding up well agains next gen.?

I want to thank a couple of SA-1 owners who advised me to use XLR's on this player. The SA-1 is much more transparent using the XLR connections. In this configuration the SA-1 is far better than I previously thought. My unit is very cable sensitive as well. The differences in power cords can be easily heard. I have not heard all the other high dollar CD players out there but this is definitely musical player in this configuration.

As audiophiles we have our disagreements as is evidenced by this thread. But really, isn't this a great hobby or what!
With all the suffering in the world,aren't we blessed to be able to argue which of our machines make music more authentically. I wish the rest of the world had our issues!! Happy holidays to all!! Bob

Steve (711smilin), spare me and everyone else the insults. I can explain and refute much of what you said but not here.

Jack, I was not talking about digital modifications or TRL in particular, was I?

Anyway, I can also offer "Pros and Cons about EMI and RFI shielding of Digital Electronics" book. May be you will like this one better.

Regards,
Alex

Alex-

How do you find the time to stop in here during those long 18 hour days?
Maybe you could drop this guy an email since you are cruising the internet forums these days?
