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 , 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!
