Marantz SA7S1 owners - stock or modded

if you are not completely happy then sell it as I did.

The marantz is built well and looks good and sounds very relaxed and
Not digital sounding but just did not have the detail and dynamics of the playback designs or emmlabs.

Pretty great for jazz and vocals but not good for rock

i think the marantz is too focused and resolving, definitely not relaxed in its presentation. there is no absence of detail. it is ironic that two people have such diametrically opposed views of the same component.

Not so ironic, IMO, as no other Audiogon contributor shares your viewpoint on any component that has ever been discussed, as far as I can recall.

Nothing wrong with that. People just have to consider the source when making judgments about how your opinion relates to their perspectives.

I find the SA7-S1 "relaxing" and easy listening for extended periods of time. It is not overly focused, clinical, or analytical.

IMO, owners of Audio Aero, Audio Research, and Cary will find the SA7-S1 quite enjoyable.

Wadia, Krell, and EMM owners may not.

I sell none of these products.

I found marantz sa11s1 very precise, overly focused and digital sounding comparing to my audio aero capitol reference se. some days i like marantz and some days i enjoy capitol. both are totally different sounding players.if you ask me to sell one player, i will sell marantz. i have not listened to sa7s1
