Marantz SA-10 vs SA-KI Ruby

Hi all,

wondering if anyone one can explain what makes the difference in these 2 players? (Other than balanced outputs on the SA-10).

MSRP difference is $2k...

Do people think they should sound the same?

thanks!

They only made like 500 of them and sold only in EU. And they were sold as a set only.Go head and FIND ONE for sale from any dealer in the USA. I guarantee you cannot. Those are the only things that matter.

My regular hi-fi shop suggested I should get another SA-10 since the actual retail price is a lot lower than the list price. The Ruby being limited edition, need to pay at list price or even higher.
