In Reply to: If you bought a CD player today, what would it be? posted by Budrew on February 28, 2012 at 13:03:01:
I already own a SA-7S1, but if I were buying today I would get the SA-11S2. Upgrade the main power fuse with a Hi-Fi Tuning Supreme and you're in business.It's built like a tank and gives you at least 90% of the performance of the SA-7S1 for about half the price. I believe they are being phased out, so you might be able to get an even better deal.
If it were built by a smaller manufacturer (ex. Playback Designs, Ayre, etc.) instead of Marantz/D&M Holdings, it would probably cost twice as much. BTW, I forgot to mention that great SACD playback is included in the price!
