Thank You- blueranger for the update. Elizabeth is a strong resource for this player, as not many people, have auditioned/owned it. I look forward in reading more about this player as you massage into your system. I am trying to find a demo myself.
Happy Listening! |
blueranger
do you have any details on the kind of repair(s)/refurbishing performed on your SA-10 ?
Happy Listening! |

You are tops in my book. I enjoy reading about your system and the SA-10.Keep reviewing and writing. Happy Listening!

Sweet! blueranger
take your time breaking it into your system. I am really looking forward to your thoughts, impressions on the SA-10. Additionally, it is nice to have a second spinner, the SA 8005, for a little shoot-out fun.
Staying Tuned.

blueranger
how are you enjoying the SA-10? Looking forward in reading your impressions and reviews.
Happy Listening!

blueranger
talk about the musical selections used to test the SA-10 as you massage this beauty into your system. Give it 200 hours then start comparing it to the 6005. Staying tuned...
Happy Listening!

Excellent! bluerangera new cable or power cord can have that kind of effect (could not listen during the break-in) until it settles into one's system. You are fortunate to own the SA-10. Staying tuned...
Happy Listening!

Thank You - anwar
keep us posted as you massage the SA-10 into your system.

bluerangerMuch Thanks! for providing your thoughts/impressions on the SA-10.The hope lies in Marantz learning from Sony/Philips on "not" what to do on their Reference spinners. Keep all marketing tactics in place for entry, mid and highest end players.
Additionally, reach out and touch this company w/ an email or phone call expressing your pleasure with their Digital products. Inquire about their intentions to stock essential/critical parts as well.

I fell in love with Jazz about 15 years ago. Never looked back.
I still enjoy Pop, Rock and came from the Hard Rock, Metal camp as well.
Quite a few parallels between Jazz and Metal, if you listen close enough. |

another +vote for those Telarc CD and SACD titles directly recorded in DSD. Happy Listening! |

another +vote for Schubert. Add some Liszt, for good measure.

Happy Listening! |

blueranger
Thanks! for sharing. I am looking forward in reading more as you accrue several more hundred hours on this player.
Happy Listening! |
blueranger et al.,
I look forward in reading all of the wonderful details and experiences from you guys, gals, that own this spinner until I can score an audition.
Staying tuned...
Happy Listening! |
2nd Note;
feel free to list your system gear, like Elizabeth, so that those of us who search for a demo can have a running list of brands that are sonic matches with this very special player. Due to its price, there will be a limited audience and or interest from the majority of the audiophile community. Additionally, there is a small niche' of us who own massive CD, SACD collections that continue to grow every year. This is not a bad thing at all.
Happy Listening! |
blueranger
Thanks! for sharing. Have you reached the 200-hour mark?
Happy Listening!
|
blueranger
Thank You for the update. After 200 hours the player will really open up and sing. It only gets better from here. Hope you are well and make a full recovery soon. Looking forward to your next incremental update.
Happy Listening! |
blueranger
Hope you are recovering well and enjoying the music on your SA-10. Tell me about the latest hours on your player. Happy Listening! |
blueranger
Good to read that you are enjoying the break-in period. How many hours are logged now-
Happy Listening! |
blueranger
Summer is notorious for sucking dry our energy across the U.S.A. due the excessive heat. The same can be said for Winter sucking dry our energy for excessive cold. Spring and Fall seems to be the middle ground, systems sound better due to less energy demands.
Good to read that your SA-10 is settling into the system.
Happy Listening! |
blueranger-
how ya doin' out there? How many hours are on the SA-10 now?
Happy Listening!
|
bluerangerThank You for the continued updating regarding the SA-10. Long live this spinner in the Marantz arsenal. Happy Listening!

bluerangerHappy New Year!I look forward in reading more about the SA-10 as it continues to bloom within your system.

blueranger
has your SA-10 reached 1000 hours of play time? Happy Listening! |
blueranger
Thank You. Over 1000 hours, your player is fully broken-in. Enjoy the Music.
Happy Listening! |
bluerangerMarantz players are solidly built, even the lower-tiered models.Agreed, that some components do need a little damping material help.
What are some of your fave CD or SACD titles spun though the SA-10?
Happy Listening!
|
vassilis_t Thank You for sharing your purchase experience w/ the SA-10. My closest area, Atlanta, does not have one for audition. The search continues... Happy Listening! |
blueranger Thanks! for sharing some of your fave discs. Are you playing single-layer SACD titles as well? I would be interested in reading about comparisons between SL and Hybrid (cd plus sacd layer) selections.
Happy Listening! |
|
elizabethThank You for chiming in. The single layer (SL) SACD will only use its designated laser. The hybrid will use both CD and SACD lazer(s) per design. Those early SACD titles were sourced closer to the master tapes.Once the hybrids came onto the scene, remastering/remixing, became common practice. As GK reports above, usually means more compression.
Happy Listening!
|
blueranger and elizabeth
if you have a title on SL and Hybrid test for any discernible difference(s)?
Happy Listening!
|
Thank You- elizabeth and gulpson.
|
glupson
Thank You for the follow up. Agreed, each "new" pressing will have a different mastering (tinkering) for better or worse. Columbia will put their house sound on each issue as well as MoFi. Compression is a consideration also.
Happy Listening! |
blueranger
just checking in for an update. Are you still discovering sonic differences w/ your SA-10 ?
