@jayctoy , how do you have your phase switch on your SA10 set? Do you set it to "Inverted" or to "Normal"?
The instructions in the manual have me a bit confused on that subject.
Marantz SA-10 arriving Monday!
I've been hearing and reading all I can about this player during this last year. I have a 6005 right now and it's a nice player but not as good as my analog rig (10k) so it's not a fair comparison. Elizabeth mentioned that her SA-10 is better than her analog. I will be comparing the 2 SACD players side by side. I have at least 3 CD's in which I have duplicates. I'm fascinated about how the circuitry upsamples to DSD SACD. Well not exactly but somehow an improvement over Redbook CD. I have a 2" thick maple block coming in the same day for it. It's going to be a long weekend. I know it can't work miracles on all CD's. If there is jitter in the recording then supposedly you will never get that out. Speak up if I'm wrong about that.

Stereo-one Let it settle for at least six days.Then play good sacd recording . Don’t expect too much yet.. Just keep on playing it. I bought this player open box as well af MD.Remember it is still your job to synchronize it to your system , and make it sound musically good. This is truly a very very good sacd player .Every time you add something on the system sounds changes.The SA 10 competes with esoteric sacd players. I still believe for 5k it’s a bargain, it’s a well design player.Esoteriic are amazing but you have to pay premium price.Do I miss my esoteric sacd player? Not at all.

@jayctoy , here's my question about that: The manual explains that the USA system is pin 2 is cold, pin 3 is hot; versus the European system which is pin 2 hot, pin 3 cold; on both systems pin 1 is ground. The manual states that "This unit employs the European system." Then it goes on to state that "If a product that employs the USA system is connected with this unit [the SA10] via a balanced cable [which I am using], the signal may be phase-inverted. To correct the inversion, set the "Phase" to "Inverted" at the menu setting." My SA10 is connected to my preamp, which is a Cary SLP 05, via balanced cable, and Cary is not saying in their manual whether they are employing the European system or the USA system so I am ASSUMING that they went with the USA system. So as I understand the SA10 manual, I should be setting the Phase on my SA10 to ’Inverted’? Since my preamp is using the USA system?
