Is the Marantz SA14v.2 a good player


Please help someone. I am thinking of purchasing one.

Thank You.

I heard one at a dealer and thought it sounded fantanstic. These players are often accused of having "that Marantz sound". I thought it was very smooth, detailed, and relaxing. A no-fatigue player to be sure.

Cheers.
I've owned the SA-14 v2 for 2 years. Overall, it's a musical, detailed player which presents good soundstage and imagining. Did a comparison with a Meridien 508 last year for a week, the Meridien was marginally more detailed but less dynamic.
I've just sent my player for modification; upgrading to FRED ultrafast soft-recovery diodes, internal rewiring with better cables and using Black Gate caps for power supply filtering and analog sections. Hopefully, this mod will bring about significant improvements.
