Marantz SA-10 arriving Monday!
elizabeth, it is a well know issue for SA-10 when playing from USB thumb drive. please see the 2nd paragraph from the link below: http://help.nativedsd.com/handling-and-playing-dsd-files/file-management/creating-a-gapless-playback... I just hope Marantz will fix this. |
I'm trying to get more into classical music with the SA-10 in the house. I scored yesterday at a thrift store going out of business. 25 cent CDs!!!! I bought 20 classical titles. Strauss, Horowitz, with Telarc and Grammaphone for the labels. I love the sounds of the orchestra for a change. I don't see how a record could sound any better with some of these. The better the recording. The better your system will sound. Didn't mean to de rail the thread here. |
blueranger.. I am listening to Beethoven String quartets right now. (Denon label box set I must have bought back in the 1980's ) with the Smetana Quartet. Divine sound. If you watch Amazon sometimes Classical box sets are pretty cheap (other times pretty expensive) but if you watch and just stick a pile on your wish list, sometimes it pays off and you can get them are a good low price. |
I was like that with Jazz. I never liked Jazz growing up. Only Jazz album I had was "Time Out" by Brubeck. (when I was young I liked Classical most, as well as Rock) Anyway, on up to 1990's and I watch "Ken Burns Jazz". Suddenly I GET Jazz. never understood before, but now I get it. I started buying Jazz on LP and CD. (Lucky too since it was a lot cheaper on LP than in the 80's) Now I mostly still listen to Classical, and then Jazz. With periods where I like a few Rock tunes. As far as music goes. Classical is like a whole new Universe of possibilities compared to Rock. I would suggest not burning out on symphonies though!! (newbies usually start and get hooked on symphonies) The real meat of Classical is in the chamber music. Quartets, Sonatas.If all I had on a desert island was the Beethoven Piano sonatas, I would be happy. You can never run out of Beethoven.. |
