Sale on Marantz PM Ki Ruby Integrated!


Music Direct has these $4k integrated on sale for $3k.  

I have a disease--just had to scoop up one of these as they are Ken I's final statement before he expired.

Will do!  I have only used two Class D amps before--an NAD M22 and a Peachtree Nova 300.  Both were great but didn't really move me.  Let's see if Ken Ishiwata has the mojo!

Selling the partner CD/SACD player for same price. One customer review says it betters the sound of the Oppo 205 (my reference). Lacks balanced outputs and no HDMI out (show stoppers). Otherwise, looks like a fine player. 

Thanks for the heads up!  I have the KI-Pearl SACD player and might replace it with the Ruby.  Interestingly, some of the specs on the Pearl look better than the Ruby, but I have to think the Ruby would be a step up due to a number of other refinements (a different DAC and better transport to name a couple).

Wondering if anyone has compared the Pearl to Ruby?

Wow.  I just ordered the CD/SACD unit, as a back-up for when companies drop disc players for streaming.  Thanks for the notice!
