Marantz SA-1 holding up well agains next gen.?


How do people feel the Marantz SA-1 is holding up against some of the newer SACD and redbook players? I am particularly interested in comparison with the SA-11s1. Thanks.

Alex: Thank you for your offers ... it almost makes me feel as I do when I deal with your competitor. Included with their mod, they sent me free SACD's (their own recordings, on Paul's own label) and free SACD/DVD/CD cleaner, Shine Ola, which they also make, (Brian has made Record Research Lab cleaning fluids since the early 90's).

There must be something about the generous nature of the modern day digital modifer ...

Wishing you and yours a wonderful Holiday Season!

No less dramatic than the post that prompted it, but thank you for realizing it was funny.

Actually, would really prefer all the bantering to cease and let's talk audio in a respectful manner.
Lkdog, your post that prompted my commentary did not reflect this sentiment.

Well, it was certainly not intended to offend you.
You are typically very fair and objective and well respected in these forums.
Some are not as ethical, unfortunately, and it goes well beyond the silliness in these forums. I don't like getting badgered directly offline.

I will try and refrain from getting involved in such threads in the future. The Hatfield and McCoys stance between folks
who are enthusiasts of APL and TRL unfortunately diverts attention from the advances being made by these and other excellent modders.

It is all good for the end user and we should just enjoy and respectfuly accept differences and the fact that everyone has their own unique preferences.

Understandable.

Enjoy your holiday...Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanza and Average Boxing Day.
Lkdog: Well said.

Considering we are in a "dying breed" type of hobby, "Can't we all just get along?".

Wiser words were never spoken from a man on Angel Dust.

Season's Greetings to all!
