Marantz SA-10 arriving Monday!

No I'm not insulted at all Elizibeth. I'm a perfectionist and but so impatient. With my old system if I listened at over 90 dbs for any length of time my ears would get fatigued especially with digital. In the last 3 weeks I bought a new amp, preamp, SACD player, new dedicated line, speaker cables and a new power cable to the player. Maybe I'm jumping the gun and not waiting long enough to break everything in. Now I can listen to a good recording for hours at near a 100 dbs with no ear fatigue. Another thing is a room problem right behind my chair. There are some great big windows.
I know I broke a cardinal rule in room acoustic management but to mitigate that, I threw up some heavy damping curtains. Would that have totally blocked out the reflective affect of the glass? I do have 3 of the 4 corners of the room rigged with bass traps with 4 18x36 panels suspended off the walls and ceiling. (2 each). I do appreciate everyones input because I live way out in the country far from any large metro area and don't get to hear other people's systems to compare too. Audiogon is my main source of info and really value opinions here. So anyone in central NC come on down and I could drive to their place too. I will have to look at getting into a club. Oh it would be a major effort to switch walls with equipment but hey I could run some long speaker cables across the room. My stuff is on the long side of the 20X12X8 room. Thanks ,Mike

Good for you Elizabeth, enjoy all your gear

90db? 100dB wow, I listen at 50db to (mainly playing opera arias max 80db), most of the time I am mid 50's to 60's high to low 70's dBs. ('C'weighted at ear).I need to listen quietly and make up for my youth playing loud in apartment buildings. Now I am in an 'over 55" apt building and all the other old bags would start gossiping if they were annoyed by any music they could hear through the walls. So mainly bass is the no no. One reason I chose Magnepan speakers is the bass seems to be less likely to go through the walls. The previous manager was here six years and said he never heard any music from my apartment!                 
Anyway,
I agree buying a pile of new stuff takes time to set it right. Do you have a power conditioner? My #1 favorite is my Furman REF20i. I bought it used here, and was able to go pick it up. Saved on shipping. Anyway I would be unhappy without it.

I have a PS Audio p1000. I use it for everything except my amp.

Thanks Elizabeth. That makes sense.
