Marantz SA-10 arriving Monday!


I've been hearing and reading all I can about this player during this last year. I have a 6005 right now and it's a nice player but not as good as my analog rig (10k) so it's not a fair comparison. Elizabeth mentioned that her SA-10 is better than her analog. I will be comparing the 2 SACD players side by side. I have at least 3 CD's in which I have duplicates. I'm fascinated about how the circuitry upsamples to DSD SACD. Well not exactly but somehow an improvement over Redbook CD. I have a 2" thick maple block coming in the same day for it. It's going to be a long weekend. I know it can't work miracles on all CD's. If there is jitter in the recording then supposedly you will never get that out. Speak up if I'm wrong about that.

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.
@blueranger I would very much recommend for your continued good hearing not listening for hours at 100db.
