Looking for SACD player............


I’m replacing my Marantz SA8100. Looking at new Marantz SA8500. Anything else new or used  in that price range I should be looking at? Thanks.

Thanks to the accolades many of you had for Modwright and a lot of reading about their mods., I sent my Marantz SA8005 away. Dan and Kristen were great to communicate with via email. They answered within a couple minutes on more than one occasion. Listening to vinyl for a few weeks (not at all a bad thing). Enjoying a Japanese pressing of the original Dire Straits effort. Great tunes with great sound.

Calling Parts Connexion tomorrow for a Hifi-tuning silver star 3A Slo Blo fuse to put in the 9.0 tube power supply. Tough to pass up on such good fuses being offered at 60% off! I’ll install that when my unit gets here around the end of January.

Tpreaves - Hope you are enjoying your modified Marantz.

Thanks to everyone for sharing your modification experiences in this thread.

Would anyone care to recommend a reasonably priced power cord for the Modwright 9.0 outboard power supply?

During the last decade or so I owned many of the usual suspects, some a couple times over, but havent had another SONY. Not for any bad experience. Marantz and Oppo are nice, and handful of Pioneers. Anyone care to trade their SCD-XA5400ES for a 105 to try some apples from another cart. Perhaps not. The Sony's are intriguing.
